To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_vlans.
New in cisco.nxos 1.0.0
Synopsis
This module creates and manages VLAN configurations on Cisco NX-OS.
Aliases: vlans
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
A dictionary of Vlan options |
|
Manage administrative state of the vlan. Choices:
|
|
The Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) ID that is mapped to the VLAN. |
|
Set vlan mode to classical ethernet or fabricpath. This is a valid option for Nexus 5000, 6000 and 7000 series. Choices:
|
|
Name of VLAN. |
|
Manage operational state of the vlan. Choices:
|
|
Vlan ID. |
|
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 commands show vlans | json-pretty and show running-config | section ^vlan in order and delimited by a line. The state parsed reads the configuration from |
|
The state of the configuration after module completion. The state overridden would override the configuration of all the VLANs on the device (including VLAN 1) with the provided configuration in the task. Use caution with this state. Choices:
|
Notes
Note
Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
Unsupported for Cisco MDS
