To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.network.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.network.ce_eth_trunk.

Synopsis

  • Manages Eth-Trunk specific configuration parameters on HUAWEI CloudEngine switches.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

force

boolean

When true it forces Eth-Trunk members to match what is declared in the members param. This can be used to remove members.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

hash_type

string

Hash algorithm used for load balancing among Eth-Trunk member interfaces.

Choices:

  • "src-dst-ip"

  • "src-dst-mac"

  • "enhanced"

  • "dst-ip"

  • "dst-mac"

  • "src-ip"

  • "src-mac"

members

string

List of interfaces that will be managed in a given Eth-Trunk. The interface name must be full name.

string

Specifies the minimum number of Eth-Trunk member links in the Up state. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to the maximum number of interfaces that can be added to a Eth-Trunk interface.

mode

string

Specifies the working mode of an Eth-Trunk interface.

Choices:

  • "manual"

  • "lacp-dynamic"

  • "lacp-static"

state

string

Manage the state of the resource.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

trunk_id

string / required

Eth-Trunk interface number. The value is an integer. The value range depends on the assign forward eth-trunk mode command. When 256 is specified, the value ranges from 0 to 255. When 512 is specified, the value ranges from 0 to 511. When 1024 is specified, the value ranges from 0 to 1023.

Notes

Note

  • state=absent removes the Eth-Trunk config and interface if it already exists. If members to be removed are not explicitly passed, all existing members (if any), are removed, and Eth-Trunk removed.

  • Members must be a list.

  • 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.
