cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l2_interfaces module – Resource Module to configure L2 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_l2_interfaces.

New in cisco.iosxr 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module manages the Layer-2 interface attributes on Cisco IOS-XR devices.

Aliases: l2_interfaces

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary of Layer-2 interface options
encapsulation dictionary	Specify which packets will be matched by this sub-interface.
dot1q integer	IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-tagged packets.
second_dot1q integer	IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-tagged packets.
l2protocol list / elements=dictionary	Configures Layer 2 protocol tunneling and protocol data unit (PDU) filtering on an interface.
cdp string	Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) tunneling and data unit parameters. Choices: `"drop"` `"forward"` `"tunnel"`
cpsv string	CDP, PVST+, STP, and VTP protocols. Choices: `"drop"` `"reverse-tunnel"` `"tunnel"`
pvst string	Configures the per-VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (PVST) tunneling and data unit parameters. Choices: `"drop"` `"forward"` `"tunnel"`
stp string	Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) tunneling and data unit parameters. Choices: `"drop"` `"forward"` `"tunnel"`
vtp string	VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) tunneling and data unit parameters. Choices: `"drop"` `"forward"` `"tunnel"`
l2transport boolean	Switchport mode access command to configure the interface as a layer 2 access Choices: `false` `true`
name string / required	Full name of the interface/sub-interface excluding any logical unit number, e.g. GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1 or GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1.100.
native_vlan integer	Configure a native VLAN ID for the trunk
propagate boolean	Propagate Layer 2 transport events. Note that it will work only when the l2tranport option is set to TRUE Choices: `false` `true`
q_vlan list / elements=integer	802.1Q VLAN configuration. Note that it can accept either 2 VLAN IDs when configuring Q-in-Q VLAN, or it will accept 1 VLAN ID and ‘any’ as input list when configuring Q-in-any vlan as input. Note, that this option is valid only with respect to Sub-Interface and is not valid when configuring for 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 of the configuration after module completion Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"rendered"` `"gathered"` `"parsed"`

Note

This module works with connection network_cli. See the IOS-XR Platform Options.
