Synopsis

• Manages VRRP interface attributes on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

Aliases: network.cloudengine.ce_vrrp

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
admin_flowdown boolean	Disable the flowdown function for service VRRP. Choices: false ← (default) true
admin_ignore_if_down boolean	mVRRP ignores an interface Down event. Choices: false ← (default) true
admin_interface string	Tracked mVRRP interface name. The value is a string of 1 to 63 characters.
admin_vrid string	Tracked mVRRP ID. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 255.
advertise_interval string	Configured interval between sending advertisements, in milliseconds. Only the master router sends VRRP advertisements. The default value is 1000 milliseconds.
auth_key string	This object is set based on the authentication type. When noAuthentication is specified, the value is empty. When simpleTextPassword or md5Authentication is specified, the value is a string of 1 to 8 characters in plaintext and displayed as a blank text for security.
auth_mode string	Authentication type used for VRRP packet exchanges between virtual routers. The values are noAuthentication, simpleTextPassword, md5Authentication. The default value is noAuthentication. Choices: "simple" "md5" "none"
fast_resume string	mVRRP’s fast resume mode. Choices: "enable" "disable"
gratuitous_arp_interval string	Interval at which gratuitous ARP packets are sent, in seconds. The value ranges from 30 to 1200.The default value is 300.
holding_multiplier string	The configured holdMultiplier.The value is an integer ranging from 3 to 10. The default value is 3.
interface string	Name of an interface. The value is a string of 1 to 63 characters.
is_plain boolean	Select the display mode of an authentication key. By default, an authentication key is displayed in ciphertext. Choices: false ← (default) true
preempt_timer_delay string	Preemption delay. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 3600. The default value is 0.
priority string	Configured VRRP priority. The value ranges from 1 to 254. The default value is 100. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
recover_delay string	Delay in recovering after an interface goes Up. The delay is used for interface flapping suppression. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 3600. The default value is 0 seconds.
state string	Specify desired state of the resource. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
version string	VRRP version. The default version is v2. Choices: "v2" "v3"
virtual_ip string	Virtual IP address. The value is a string of 0 to 255 characters.
vrid string	VRRP backup group ID. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 255. Default: "present"
vrrp_type string	Type of a VRRP backup group. Choices: "normal" "member" "admin"

Notes

Note

• This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.

• Recommended connection is netconf.

• This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
