Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_mode string	Choices: md5 simple sha hmac-sha256 none	Specifies authentication algorithm of DLDP.
auth_pwd string		Specifies authentication password. The value is a string of 1 to 16 case-sensitive plaintexts or 24/32/48/108/128 case-sensitive encrypted characters. The string excludes a question mark (?).
enable string	Choices: enable disable	Set global DLDP enable state.
reset string	Choices: enable disable	Specify whether reset DLDP state of disabled interfaces.
time_internal string		Specifies the interval for sending Advertisement packets. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 100, in seconds. The default interval for sending Advertisement packets is 5 seconds.
work_mode string	Choices: enhance normal	Set global DLDP work-mode.

Notes

Note

• The relevant configurations will be deleted if DLDP is disabled using enable=disable.

• When using auth_mode=none, it will restore the default DLDP authentication mode. By default, DLDP packets are not authenticated.

• By default, the working mode of DLDP is enhance, so you are advised to use work_mode=enhance to restore default DLDP working mode.

• The default interval for sending Advertisement packets is 5 seconds, so you are advised to use time_interval=5 to restore default DLDP interval.

• This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.

• Recommended connection is netconf.

• This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
