Synopsis

  • This module manages Global Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on NX-OS devices.

Aliases: lacp

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

dictionary

LACP global options.

system

dictionary

LACP system options

mac

dictionary

MAC address to be used for the LACP Protocol exchanges

address

string

MAC-address (FORMAT :xxxx.xxxx.xxxx).

role

string

The role for the Switch.

Choices:

  • "primary"

  • "secondary"

priority

integer

The system priority to use in LACP negotiations.

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 | include lacp.

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.

States replaced and overridden have the same behaviour for this module.

Choices:

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "replaced"

  • "overridden"

  • "deleted"

  • "gathered"

  • "rendered"

  • "parsed"

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL.

  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS

  • Feature lacp should be enabled for this module.

        mac:
          address: 00c1.4c00.bd15
          role: secondary
    state: rendered

# Task Output (redacted)
# -----------------------

# rendered:
#   - "lacp system-priority 10"
#   - "lacp system-mac 00c1.4c00.bd15 role secondary"

# Using parsed

# parsed.cfg
# ------------
# lacp system-priority 10
# lacp system-mac 00c1.4c00.bd15 role secondary

- name: Use parsed state to convert externally supplied config to structured format
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lacp:
    running_config: "{{ lookup('file', 'parsed.cfg') }}"
    state: parsed

# Task output (redacted)
# -----------------------
# parsed:
#  system:
#    priority: 10
#    mac:
#      address: 00c1.4c00.bd15
#      role: secondary

# Using gathered

# Existing device config state
# -------------------------------
# Nexus9000v# show running-config | include lacp
# lacp system-priority 11
# lacp system-mac 00c1.4c00.bd15 role primary

- name: Gather lacp facts from the device using nxos_lacp
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lacp:
    state: gathered

# Task output (redacted)
