cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l3_interfaces module – Resource module to configure L3 interfaces.

Note

This module is part of the cisco.iosxr collection (version 6.1.1).

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_l3_interfaces.

New in cisco.iosxr 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module provides declarative management of Layer-3 interface on Cisco IOS-XR devices.

Aliases: l3_interfaces

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary of Layer-3 interface options
ipv4 list / elements=dictionary	IPv4 address to be set for the Layer-3 interface mentioned in name option. The address format is <ipv4 address>/<mask>, the mask is number in range 0-32 eg. 192.168.0.1/24
address string	Configures the IPv4 address for Interface.
secondary boolean	Configures the IP address as a secondary address. Choices: `false` `true`
ipv6 list / elements=dictionary	IPv6 address to be set for the Layer-3 interface mentioned in name option. The address format is <ipv6 address>/<mask>, the mask is number in range 0-128 eg. fd5d:12c9:2201:1::1/64
address string	Configures the IPv6 address for Interface.
name string / required	Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.
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"` `"parsed"` `"rendered"` `"gathered"`

Notes 

Note

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