cisco.ios.ios_vlans module – Resource module to configure VLANs.
Note
This module is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 5.3.0).
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 cisco.ios.
To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_vlans.
New in cisco.ios 1.0.0
Synopsis
This module provides declarative management of VLANs on Cisco IOS network devices.
Aliases: vlans
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
A dictionary of VLANs options |
|
Members of VLAN |
|
Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) |
|
VXLAN vni |
|
VLAN Maximum Transmission Unit. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values. |
|
Ascii name of the VLAN. NOTE, name should not be named/appended with default as it is reserved for device default vlans. |
|
Options for private vlan configuration. |
|
List of private VLANs associated with the primary . Only works with `type: primary`. |
|
Private VLAN type Choices:
|
|
Configure as Remote SPAN VLAN Choices:
|
|
Shutdown VLAN switching. Choices:
|
|
Operational state of the VLAN Choices:
|
|
ID of the VLAN. Range 1-4094 |
|
When set to true, deals with vlan configuration CLIs Choices:
|
|
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 vlan. The state parsed reads the configuration from |
|
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 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 Choices:

Notes
Note
Tested against Cisco IOSl2 device with Version 15.2 on VIRL.
Starting from v2.5.0, this module will fail when run against Cisco IOS devices that do not support VLANs. The offline states (
renderedandparsed) will work as expected.This module works with connection
network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html
