cisco.iosxr.iosxr_lag_interfaces module – Resource module to configure LAG interfaces.

Note

This module is part of the cisco.iosxr collection (version 9.0.0).

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.iosxr.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.iosxr.iosxr_lag_interfaces.

New in cisco.iosxr 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • This module manages the attributes of LAG/Ether-Bundle interfaces on IOS-XR devices.

Aliases: lag_interfaces

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

A provided Link Aggregation Group (LAG) configuration.

dictionary

This dict contains configurable options related to LAG/Ether-Bundle links.

integer

Specifies the limit on the number of links that can be active in the LAG/Ether-Bundle.

Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.

integer

Specifies the minimum number of active links needed to bring up the LAG/Ether-Bundle.

Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.

load_balancing_hash

string

Specifies the hash function used for traffic forwarded over the LAG/Ether-Bundle.

Option ‘dst-ip’ uses the destination IP as the hash function.

Option ‘src-ip’ uses the source IP as the hash function.

Choices:

  • "dst-ip"

  • "src-ip"

members

list / elements=dictionary

List of member interfaces for the LAG/Ether-Bundle.

member

string

Name of the member interface.

mode

string

Specifies the mode of the operation for the member interface.

Mode ‘active’ runs LACP in active mode.

Mode ‘on’ does not run LACP over the port.

Mode ‘passive’ runs LACP in passive mode over the port.

Mode ‘inherit’ runs LACP as configured in the bundle.

Choices:

  • "on"

  • "active"

  • "passive"

  • "inherit"

mode

string

LAG mode.

Mode ‘active’ runs LACP in active mode over the port.

Mode ‘on’ does not run LACP over the port.

Mode ‘passive’ runs LACP in passive mode over the port.

Choices:

  • "on"

  • "active"

  • "passive"

name

string / required

Name/Identifier of the LAG/Ether-Bundle to configure.

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 int.

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"
