arista.eos.eos_ntp_global module – Manages ntp resource module

Note

This module is part of the arista.eos collection (version 5.0.1).

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 arista.eos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: arista.eos.eos_ntp_global.

New in arista.eos 3.1.0

Synopsis

  • This module configures and manages the attributes of ntp on Arista EOS platforms.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

dictionary

A dictionary of ntp options

authenticate

dictionary

Require authentication for NTP synchronization.

enable

boolean

Enable authentication for NTP synchronization.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

servers

boolean

Authentication required only for incoming NTP server responses.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

authentication_keys

list / elements=dictionary

Define a key to use for authentication.

algorithm

string

hash algorithm,

Choices:

  • "md5"

  • "sha1"

encryption

integer

key type

Choices:

  • 0

  • 7

id

integer

key identifier.

key

string

Unobfuscated key string.

local_interface

string

Configure the interface from which the IP source address is taken.

qos_dscp

integer

Set DSCP value in IP header

serve

dictionary

Configure the switch as an NTP server.

access_lists

list / elements=dictionary

Configure access control list.

acls

list / elements=dictionary

Access lists to be configured under the afi

acl_name

string

Name of the access list.

direction

string

direction for the packets.

Choices:

  • "in"

  • "out"

vrf

string

VRF in which to apply the access control list.

afi

string

ip/ipv6 config commands.

all

boolean

Service NTP requests received on any interface.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

servers

list / elements=dictionary

Configure NTP server to synchronize to.

burst

boolean

Send a burst of packets instead of the usual one.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

iburst

boolean

Send bursts of packets until the server is reached

Choices:

  • false

  • true

key_id

integer

Set a key to use for authentication.

local_interface

string

Configure the interface from which the IP source address is taken.

maxpoll

integer

Maximum poll interval.

minpoll

integer

Minimum poll interval.

prefer

boolean

Mark this server as preferred.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

server

string / required

Hostname or A.B.C.D or A:B:C:D:E:F:G:H.

source

string

Configure the interface from which the IP source address is taken.

version

integer

NTP version.

vrf

string

vrf name.

trusted_key

string

Configure the set of keys that are accepted for incoming messages

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command show running-config | section ntp.

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 replaced and overridden have identical behaviour for this module.

Please refer to examples for more details.

Choices:

  • "deleted"

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "overridden"

  • "replaced"

  • "gathered"

  • "rendered"

  • "parsed"
