cisco.ios.ios_lacp_interfaces module – Resource module to configure LACP interfaces.

Note

This module is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 4.6.1).

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 cisco.ios.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_lacp_interfaces.

New in cisco.ios 1.0.0

Synopsis

• This module provides declarative management of LACP on Cisco IOS network devices lacp_interfaces.

Aliases: lacp_interfaces

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary of LACP lacp_interfaces option
fast_switchover boolean	LACP fast switchover supported on this port channel. Choices: false true
max_bundle integer	LACP maximum number of ports to bundle in this port channel. Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
name string / required	Name of the Interface for configuring LACP.
port_priority integer	LACP priority on this interface. Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command show running-config | section ^interface. 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 rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config | include ip route|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required. Choices: "merged" ← (default) "replaced" "overridden" "deleted" "rendered" "gathered" "parsed"

Notes

Note

• Tested against Cisco IOSXE Version 17.3 on CML.

• This module works with connection network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
after list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Returned: when changed Sample: ["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]
before list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Returned: always Sample: ["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Returned: always Sample: ["interface GigabitEthernet 0/1", "lacp port-priority 30"]
