cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l3_interfaces – L3 interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.iosxr collection (version 2.6.0).

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 cisco.iosxr.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l3_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.iosxr

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of Layer-3 interface on Cisco IOS-XR 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

IPv4 address to be set for the Layer-3 interface mentioned in name option.

The address format is <ipv4 address>/<mask>, the mask is number in range 0-32 eg. 192.168.0.1/24

address

string

Configures the IPv4 address for Interface.

secondary

boolean

Configures the IP address as a secondary address.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

ipv6

list / elements=dictionary

IPv6 address to be set for the Layer-3 interface mentioned in name option.

The address format is <ipv6 address>/<mask>, the mask is number in range 0-128 eg. fd5d:12c9:2201:1::1/64

address

string

Configures the IPv6 address for Interface.

name

string / required

Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS-XR device by executing the command show running-config 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

  • rendered

  • gathered
