Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of L2VPN EVPN on Cisco IOS network devices.

Aliases: evpn_global

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

dictionary

A dictionary of L2VPN Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) configuration

default_gateway

dictionary

Default gateway parameters

advertise

boolean

Advertise Default Gateway MAC/IP routes

Choices:

  • false

  • true

flooding_suppression

dictionary

Suppress flooding of broadcast, multicast, and/or unknown unicast packets

address_resolution

dictionary

Suppress flooding of Address Resolution and Neighbor Discovery Protocol packets

disable

boolean

Disable flooding suppression

Choices:

  • false

  • true

ip

dictionary

IP parameters

local_learning

dictionary

IP local learning

disable

boolean

Disable IP local learning

Choices:

  • false

  • true

replication_type

string

Method for replicating BUM traffic

Choices:

  • "ingress"

  • "static"

route_target

dictionary

Route Target VPN Extended Communities

auto

dictionary

Automatically set a route-target

vni

boolean

Set vni-based route-target

Choices:

  • false

  • true

router_id

string

EVPN router ID

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 sh running-config nve | section ^l2vpn evpn$.

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"

  • "gathered"

  • "rendered"

  • "parsed"
