arista.eos.eos_vrf module – Manage VRFs on Arista EOS network devices

Note

This module is part of the arista.eos collection (version 6.0.1).

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_vrf.

New in arista.eos 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of VRFs on Arista EOS network devices.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

aggregate

list / elements=dictionary

List of VRFs instances

associated_interfaces

list / elements=string

This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vrf name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vrf interfaces on device it will result in failure.

delay

integer

Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state arguments.

Default: 10

interfaces

list / elements=string

Identifies the set of interfaces that should be configured in the VRF. Interfaces must be routed interfaces in order to be placed into a VRF. The name of interface should be in expanded format and not abbreviated.

name

string / required

Name of the VRF.

rd

string

Route distinguisher of the VRF

state

string

State of the VRF configuration.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

associated_interfaces

list / elements=string

This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vrf name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vrf interfaces on device it will result in failure.

Default: 10

interfaces

list / elements=string

Identifies the set of interfaces that should be configured in the VRF. Interfaces must be routed interfaces in order to be placed into a VRF. The name of interface should be in expanded format and not abbreviated.

name

string

Name of the VRF.

purge

boolean

Purge VRFs not defined in the aggregate parameter.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

rd

string

Route distinguisher of the VRF

state

string

State of the VRF configuration.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

Notes

Note

      rd: 1:204
    - name: test5
      rd: 1:205
    state: present
    purge: yes
