Synopsis

• Manages Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) configurations on HUAWEI CloudEngine switches.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
bridge_domain_id string / required		Specify an existed bridge domain (BD).The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 16777215.
evpn string	Choices: enable ← disable	Create or delete an EVPN instance for a VXLAN in BD view.
route_distinguisher string		Configures a route distinguisher (RD) for a BD EVPN instance. The format of an RD can be as follows 1) 2-byte AS number:4-byte user-defined number, for example, 1:3. An AS number is an integer ranging from 0 to 65535, and a user-defined number is an integer ranging from 0 to 4294967295. The AS and user-defined numbers cannot be both 0s. This means that an RD cannot be 0:0. 2) Integral 4-byte AS number:2-byte user-defined number, for example, 65537:3. An AS number is an integer ranging from 65536 to 4294967295, and a user-defined number is an integer ranging from 0 to 65535. 3) 4-byte AS number in dotted notation:2-byte user-defined number, for example, 0.0:3 or 0.1:0. A 4-byte AS number in dotted notation is in the format of x.y, where x and y are integers ranging from 0 to 65535. 4) A user-defined number is an integer ranging from 0 to 65535. The AS and user-defined numbers cannot be both 0s. This means that an RD cannot be 0.0:0. 5) 32-bit IP address:2-byte user-defined number. For example, 192.168.122.15:1. An IP address ranges from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, and a user-defined number is an integer ranging from 0 to 65535. 6) 'auto' specifies the RD that is automatically generated.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Manage the state of the resource.
vpn_target_both string		Add VPN targets to both the import and export VPN target lists of a BD EVPN instance. The format is the same as route_distinguisher.
vpn_target_export string		Add VPN targets to the export VPN target list of a BD EVPN instance. The format is the same as route_distinguisher.
vpn_target_import string / required		Add VPN targets to the import VPN target list of a BD EVPN instance. The format is the same as route_distinguisher.

Notes

Note

• Ensure that EVPN has been configured to serve as the VXLAN control plane when state is present.

• Ensure that a bridge domain (BD) has existed when state is present.

• Ensure that a VNI has been created and associated with a broadcast domain (BD) when state is present.

• If you configure evpn:false to delete an EVPN instance, all configurations in the EVPN instance are deleted.

• After an EVPN instance has been created in the BD view, you can configure an RD using route_distinguisher parameter in BD-EVPN instance view.

• Before configuring VPN targets for a BD EVPN instance, ensure that an RD has been configured for the BD EVPN instance

• If you unconfigure route_distinguisher, all VPN target attributes for the BD EVPN instance will be removed at the same time.

• When using state:absent, evpn is not supported and it will be ignored.

• When using state:absent to delete VPN target attributes, ensure the configuration of VPN target attributes has existed and otherwise it will report an error.

• 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.
