community.network.ce_bfd_global module – Manages BFD global configuration on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

Note

This module is part of the community.network collection (version 3.3.0).

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 community.network.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.network.ce_bfd_global.

Synopsis

  • Manages BFD global configuration on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

bfd_enable

string

Enables the global Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) function.

Choices:

  • enable

  • disable

damp_init_wait_time

string

Specifies an initial flapping suppression time for a BFD session. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 3600000, in milliseconds. The default value is 2000.

damp_max_wait_time

string

Specifies a maximum flapping suppression time for a BFD session. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 3600000, in milliseconds. The default value is 15000.

damp_second_wait_time

string

Specifies a secondary flapping suppression time for a BFD session. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 3600000, in milliseconds. The default value is 5000.

default_ip

string

Specifies the default multicast IP address. The value ranges from 224.0.0.107 to 224.0.0.250.

delay_up_time

string

Specifies the delay before a BFD session becomes Up. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 600, in seconds. The default value is 0, indicating that a BFD session immediately becomes Up.

state

string

Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

tos_exp_dynamic

string

Indicates the priority of BFD control packets for dynamic BFD sessions. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 7. The default priority is 7, which is the highest priority of BFD control packets.

tos_exp_static

string

Indicates the priority of BFD control packets for static BFD sessions. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 7. The default priority is 7, which is the highest priority of BFD control packets.

Notes

Note

  • 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.
