cisco.iosxr.iosxr_acl_interfaces module – Resource module to configure ACL interfaces.

Note

This module is part of the cisco.iosxr collection (version 5.0.3).

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.iosxr.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.iosxr.iosxr_acl_interfaces.

New in cisco.iosxr 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • This module manages adding and removing Access Control Lists (ACLs) from interfaces on devices running IOS-XR software.

Aliases: acl_interfaces

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

A dictionary of ACL options for interfaces.

access_groups

list / elements=dictionary

Specifies ACLs attached to the interfaces.

acls

list / elements=dictionary

Specifies the ACLs for the provided AFI.

direction

string / required

Specifies the direction of packets that the ACL will be applied on.

Choices:

  • "in"

  • "out"

name

string / required

Specifies the name of the IPv4/IPv6 ACL for the interface.

afi

string / required

Specifies the AFI for the ACL(s) to be configured on this interface.

Choices:

  • "ipv4"

  • "ipv6"

name

string / required

Name/Identifier for the interface

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS-XR device by executing the command show running-config 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.

Choices:

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "replaced"

  • "overridden"

  • "deleted"

  • "gathered"

  • "parsed"

  • "rendered"
