community.network.ce_bfd_view module – Manages BFD session view 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_view.

Synopsis

  • Manages BFD session view configuration on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

admin_down

boolean

Enables the BFD session to enter the AdminDown state. By default, a BFD session is enabled. The default value is bool type.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

description

string

Specifies the description of a BFD session. The value is a string of 1 to 51 case-sensitive characters with spaces.

detect_multi

string

Specifies the local detection multiplier of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 3 to 50.

local_discr

string

Specifies the local discriminator of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 16384.

min_rx_interval

string

Specifies the minimum interval for sending BFD packets. The value is an integer that ranges from 50 to 1000, in milliseconds.

min_tx_interval

string

Specifies the minimum interval for receiving BFD packets. The value is an integer that ranges from 50 to 1000, in milliseconds.

provider

string

A dict object containing connection details.

host

string / required

Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.

password

string

Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.

port

integer

Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or netconf. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, netconf=22).

0 means use common port.

ssh_keyfile

path

Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is used for the cli transport. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.

transport

string

Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh).

Choices:

  • cli ← (default)

  • netconf

username

string

Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the CLI login. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.

remote_discr

string

Specifies the remote discriminator of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 4294967295.

session_name

string / required

Specifies the name of a BFD session. The value is a string of 1 to 15 case-sensitive characters without spaces.

state

string

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

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

tos_exp

string

Specifies a priority for BFD control packets. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 7. The default value is 7, which is the highest priority.

wtr_interval

string

Specifies the WTR time of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 60, in minutes. The default value is 0.

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.
