Synopsis
This module manages Layer-2 interfaces attributes of NX-OS Interfaces.
Note
This module has a corresponding action plugin.
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
---|---|
A dictionary of Layer-2 interface options |
|
Switchport mode access command to configure the interface as a Layer-2 access. |
|
Configure given VLAN in access port. It’s used as the access VLAN ID. |
|
Mode in which interface needs to be configured. Access mode is not shown in interface facts, so idempotency will not be maintained for switchport mode access and every time the output will come as changed=True. Choices:
|
|
Full name of interface, i.e. Ethernet1/1. |
|
Switchport mode trunk command to configure the interface as a Layer-2 trunk. |
|
List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. These are the only VLANs that will be configured on the trunk. |
|
Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. It is used as the trunk native VLAN ID. |
|
This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config | section ^interface. The state parsed reads the configuration from |
|
The state of the configuration after module completion. Choices:
|
