Note

This module is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 2.8.1).

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.ios.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_lldp_interfaces.

Synopsis 

This module manages link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Cisco IOS devices.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary of LLDP options
med_tlv_select dictionary	Selection of LLDP MED TLVs to send NOTE, if med-tlv-select is configured idempotency won’t be maintained as Cisco device doesn’t record configured med-tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective med-tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply med-tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
inventory_management boolean	LLDP MED Inventory Management TLV Choices: no yes
name string / required	Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.
receive boolean	Enable LLDP reception on interface. Choices: no yes
tlv_select dictionary	Selection of LLDP type-length-value i.e. TLVs to send NOTE, if tlv-select is configured idempotency won’t be maintained as Cisco device doesn’t record configured tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
power_management boolean	IEEE 802.3 DTE Power via MDI TLV Choices: no yes
transmit boolean	Enable LLDP transmission on interface. Choices: no yes
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command sh lldp 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 the configuration should be left in The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in `config` option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from `running_config` option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of `running_config` option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config \| include ip route\|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required. Choices: merged ← (default) replaced overridden deleted rendered gathered parsed

Note

Tested against Cisco IOSv Version 15.2 on VIRL.
This module works with connection network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html
