arista.eos.eos_lldp_interfaces module – LLDP interfaces resource module

Note

This module is part of the arista.eos collection (version 6.2.2).

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 arista.eos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: arista.eos.eos_lldp_interfaces.

New in arista.eos 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module manages Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Arista EOS devices.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary of LLDP interfaces options.
name string	Full name of the interface (i.e. Ethernet1).
receive boolean	Enable/disable LLDP RX on an interface. Choices: `false` `true`
transmit boolean	Enable/disable LLDP TX on an interface. Choices: `false` `true`
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS 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 of the configuration after module completion. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"parsed"` `"gathered"` `"rendered"`

Tested against Arista EOS 4.24.6F
This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.
