community.network.edgeswitch_vlan module – Manage VLANs on Ubiquiti Edgeswitch network devices

Note

This module is part of the community.network collection (version 4.0.2).

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.edgeswitch_vlan.

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of VLANs on Ubiquiti Edgeswitch network devices.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

aggregate

string

List of VLANs definitions.

auto_exclude

boolean

Each of the switch interfaces will be excluded from vlan_id unless defined in *_interfaces. This is a default setting for all switch interfaces.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

auto_tag

boolean

Each of the switch interfaces will be set to accept and transmit untagged frames for vlan_id unless defined in *_interfaces. This is a default setting for all switch interfaces.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

auto_untag

boolean

Each of the switch interfaces will be set to accept untagged frames and transmit them tagged for vlan_id unless defined in *_interfaces. This is a default setting for all switch interfaces.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

excluded_interfaces

string

List of interfaces that should be excluded of the VLAN. Accept range of interfaces.

name

string

Name of the VLAN.

purge

boolean

Purge VLANs not defined in the aggregate parameter.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

state

string

action on the VLAN configuration.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

tagged_interfaces

string

List of interfaces that should accept and transmit tagged frames for the VLAN. Accept range of interfaces.

untagged_interfaces

string

List of interfaces that should accept untagged frames and transmit them tagged for the VLAN. Accept range of interfaces.

vlan_id

string

ID of the VLAN. Range 1-4093.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against edgeswitch 1.7.4

  • This module use native Ubiquiti vlan syntax and does not support switchport compatibility syntax. For clarity, it is strongly advised to not use both syntaxes on the same interface.

  • Edgeswitch does not support deleting or changing name of VLAN 1

  • As auto_tag, auto_untag and auto_exclude are a kind of default setting for all interfaces, they are mutually exclusive

Examples

- name: Create vlan
  community.network.edgeswitch_vlan:
    vlan_id: 100
    name: voice
    action: present

- name: Add interfaces to VLAN
  community.network.edgeswitch_vlan:
    vlan_id: 100
    tagged_interfaces:
      - 0/1
      - 0/4-0/6

- name: Setup three vlans and delete the rest
  community.network.edgeswitch_vlan:
    purge: true
    aggregate:
      - { vlan_id: 1, name: default, auto_untag: true, excluded_interfaces: 0/45-0/48 }
      - { vlan_id: 100, name: voice, auto_tag: true }
      - { vlan_id: 200, name: video, auto_exclude: true, untagged_interfaces: 0/45-0/48, tagged_interfaces: 0/49 }

- name: Delete vlan
  community.network.edgeswitch_vlan:
    vlan_id: 100
    state: absent
