community.network.cnos_interface module – Manage Interface on Lenovo CNOS network 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.cnos_interface.

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Lenovo CNOS network devices.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

aggregate

string

List of Interfaces definitions.

delay

string

Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values up/down, tx_rate and rx_rate

Default: 20

description

string

Description of Interface.

duplex

string

Interface link status

Choices:

  • full

  • half

  • auto ← (default)

enabled

boolean

Interface link status.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

mtu

string

Maximum size of transmit packet.

name

string / required

Name of the Interface.

neighbors

string

Check operational state of given interface name for LLDP neighbor.

The following suboptions are available.

host

string

LLDP neighbor host for given interface name.

port

string

LLDP neighbor port to which interface name is connected.

provider

string

Deprecated

Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli.

For more information please see the CNOS Platform Options guide.

A dict object containing connection details.

auth_pass

string

Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead.

authorize

boolean

Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

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 value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.

port

string

Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.

Default: 22

ssh_keyfile

string

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

timeout

string

Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.

Default: 10

username

string

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

rx_rate

string

Receiver rate in bits per second (bps).

This is state check parameter only.

Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules

speed

string

Interface link speed.

state

string

State of the Interface configuration, up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

  • up

  • down

tx_rate

string

Transmit rate in bits per second (bps).

This is state check parameter only.

Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules

Notes

Note

  • Tested against CNOS 10.8.1
