dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_dhcp_relay module – Manage DHCP and DHCPv6 relay configurations on SONiC

Note

This module is part of the dellemc.enterprise_sonic collection (version 2.2.0).

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 dellemc.enterprise_sonic.

To use it in a playbook, specify: dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_dhcp_relay.

New in dellemc.enterprise_sonic 2.1.0

Synopsis

  • This module provides configuration management of DHCP and DHCPv6 relay parameters on Layer 3 interfaces of devices running SONiC.

  • Layer 3 interface and VRF name need to be created earlier in the device.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

Specifies the DHCP and DHCPv6 relay configurations.

ipv4

dictionary

DHCP relay configurations to be set for the interface mentioned in name option.

circuit_id

string

Specifies the DHCP relay circuit-id format.

%h:%p - Hostname followed by interface name eg. sonic:Vlan100

%i - Name of the physical interface eg. Eth1/2

%p - Name of the interface eg. Vlan100

Choices:

  • "%h:%p"

  • "%i"

  • "%p"

boolean

Enable link selection suboption.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

max_hop_count

integer

Specifies the maximum hop count for DHCP relay packets.

The range is from 1 to 16.

policy_action

string

Specifies the policy for handling of DHCP relay options.

Choices:

  • "append"

  • "discard"

  • "replace"

server_addresses

list / elements=dictionary

List of DHCP server IPv4 addresses.

address

string

IPv4 address of the DHCP server.

source_interface

string

Specifies the DHCP relay source interface.

vrf_name

string

Specifies name of the VRF in which the DHCP server resides.

This option is not used with state deleted.

vrf_select

boolean

Enable VRF selection suboption.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

ipv6

dictionary

DHCPv6 relay configurations to be set for the interface mentioned in name option.

max_hop_count

integer

Specifies the maximum hop count for DHCPv6 relay packets.

The range is from 1 to 16.

server_addresses

list / elements=dictionary

List of DHCPv6 server IPv6 addresses.

address

string

IPv6 address of the DHCPv6 server.

source_interface

string

Specifies the DHCPv6 relay source interface.

vrf_name

string

Specifies name of the VRF in which the DHCPv6 server resides.

This option is used only with state merged.

vrf_select

boolean

Enable VRF selection suboption.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

name

string / required

Full name of the Layer 3 interface, i.e. Eth1/1.

state

string

The state of the configuration after module completion.

merged - Merges provided DHCP and DHCPv6 relay configuration with on-device configuration.

deleted - Deletes on-device DHCP and DHCPv6 relay configuration.

replaced - Replaces on-device DHCP and DHCPv6 relay configuration of the specified interfaces with provided configuration.

overridden - Overrides all on-device DHCP and DHCPv6 relay configurations with the provided configuration.

Choices:

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "deleted"

  • "replaced"

  • "overridden"

# Using deleted
#
# NOTE: Support is provided in the dhcp_relay resource module for deletion of all attributes for a
# given address family (IPv4 or IPv6) by using a "special" YAML sequence specifying a server address list
# containing a single "blank" IP address under the target address family. The following example shows
# a task using this syntax for deletion of all DHCP (IPv4) configurations for an interface, but the
# equivalent syntax is supported for DHCPv6 (IPv6) as well.
