cisco.iosxr.iosxr_lldp_global module – Resource module to configure LLDP.

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_lldp_global.

New in cisco.iosxr 1.0.0

Synopsis

• This module manages Global Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) settings on IOS-XR devices.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
config dictionary	The provided global LLDP configuration.
holdtime integer	Specifies the holdtime (in sec) to be sent in packets.
reinit integer	Specifies the delay (in sec) for LLDP initialization on any interface.
subinterfaces boolean	Enable or disable LLDP over sub-interfaces. Choices: false true
timer integer	Specifies the rate at which LLDP packets are sent (in sec).
tlv_select dictionary	Specifies the LLDP TLVs to enable or disable.
management_address boolean	Enable or disable management address TLV. Choices: false true
port_description boolean	Enable or disable port description TLV. Choices: false true
system_capabilities boolean	Enable or disable system capabilities TLV. Choices: false true
system_description boolean	Enable or disable system description TLV. Choices: false true
system_name boolean	Enable or disable system name TLV. 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 IOS-XR device by executing the command show running-config lldp. 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" "deleted" "parsed" "gathered" "rendered" "overridden"

Notes

Note

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