cisco.nxos.nxos_lag_interfaces module – LAG interfaces resource module

Note

This module is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 9.2.1).

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.nxos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_lag_interfaces.

New in cisco.nxos 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module manages attributes of link aggregation groups of NX-OS Interfaces.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A list of link aggregation group configurations.
members list / elements=dictionary	The list of interfaces that are part of the group.
force boolean	When true it forces link aggregation group members to match what is declared in the members param. This can be used to remove members. Choices: `false` `true`
member string	The interface name.
mode string	Link aggregation group (LAG). Choices: `"active"` `"on"` `"passive"`
name string / required	Name of the link aggregation group (LAG).
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config \| section ^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"` `"gathered"` `"rendered"` `"parsed"`

Note

Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL.
Unsupported for Cisco MDS
This module works with connection network_cli.
