cisco.ios.ios_vxlan_vtep module – Resource module to configure VXLAN VTEP interface.

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_vxlan_vtep.

New in cisco.ios 5.3.0

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of VXLAN VTEP interface on Cisco IOS network devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Aliases: vxlan_vtep

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

A dictionary of VXLAN VTEP interface option

host_reachability_bgp

boolean

Host reachability using EVPN protocol

Choices:

  • false

  • true

interface

string / required

VXLAN VTEP interface

member

dictionary

Configure VNI member

vni

dictionary

Configure VNI information

l2vni

list / elements=dictionary

Associates L2VNI with the VXLAN VTEP interface

replication

dictionary

Replication type for the L2VNI

mcast_group

dictionary

Configure multicast group for VNI(s)

ipv4

string

IPv4 multicast group

ipv6

string

IPv6 multicast group

type

string

Replication type

Choices:

  • "ingress"

  • "static"

vni

integer

VNI number

l3vni

list / elements=dictionary

Associates L3VNI with the VXLAN VTEP interface

vni

integer

VNI number

vrf

string

VRF name of the L3VNI

source_interface

string

Source interface for the VXLAN VTEP 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 device by executing the command show running-config | section ^interface nve.

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"

  • "rendered"

  • "gathered"

  • "parsed"
