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_interfaces
.
New in cisco.nxos 1.0.0
Synopsis
This module manages the interface attributes of NX-OS interfaces.
Aliases: interfaces
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
---|---|
A dictionary of interface options |
|
Interface description. |
|
Interface link status. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only. Choices:
|
|
Administrative state of the interface. Set the value to Choices:
|
|
Associate SVI with anycast gateway under VLAN configuration mode. Applicable for SVI interfaces only. Choices:
|
|
Enable or disable IP forward feature on SVIs. Set the value to Choices:
|
|
Manage Layer2 or Layer3 state of the interface. Applicable for Ethernet and port channel interfaces only. Choices:
|
|
MTU for a specific interface. Must be an even number between 576 and 9216. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only. |
|
Full name of interface, e.g. Ethernet1/1, port-channel10. |
|
Interface link speed. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only. |
|
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 |
|
The state of the configuration after module completion The state rendered considers the system default mode for interfaces to be “Layer 3” and the system default state for interfaces to be shutdown. The state purged negates virtual interfaces that are specified in task from running-config. Choices:
