arista.eos.eos_l3_interfaces – L3 interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the arista.eos collection (version 2.2.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install arista.eos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: arista.eos.eos_l3_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of arista.eos

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of Layer 3 interfaces on Arista EOS devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

A dictionary of Layer 3 interface options

ipv4

list / elements=dictionary

List of IPv4 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 interface mentioned in name option.

address

string

IPv4 address to be set in the format <ipv4 address>/<mask> eg. 192.0.2.1/24, or dhcp to query DHCP for an IP address.

secondary

boolean

Whether or not this address is a secondary address.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

virtual

boolean

Whether or not this address is a virtual address.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

ipv6

list / elements=dictionary

List of IPv6 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 interface mentioned in name option.

address

string

IPv6 address to be set in the address format is <ipv6 address>/<mask> eg. 2001:db8:2201:1::1/64 or auto-config to use SLAAC to chose an address.

name

string / required

Full name of the interface, i.e. Ethernet1.

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command show running-config | section ^interface.

The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module’s argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.

state

string

The state of the configuration after module completion

Choices:

  • merged ← (default)

  • replaced

  • overridden

  • deleted

  • parsed

  • gathered

  • rendered

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Arista EOS 4.20.10M

  • This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options. ‘eos_l2_interfaces/eos_interfaces’ should be used for preparing the interfaces , before applying L3 configurations using this module (eos_l3_interfaces).
