arista.eos.eos_lldp_interfaces module – LLDP interfaces resource module

Note

This module is part of the arista.eos collection (version 9.0.0).

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 arista.eos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: arista.eos.eos_lldp_interfaces.

New in arista.eos 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • This module manages Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Arista EOS devices.

Aliases: lldp_interfaces

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

A dictionary of LLDP interfaces options.

name

string

Full name of the interface (i.e. Ethernet1).

receive

boolean

Enable/disable LLDP RX on an interface.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

transmit

boolean

Enable/disable LLDP TX on an interface.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS 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"

  • "parsed"

  • "gathered"

  • "rendered"

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Arista EOS 4.24.6F

  • This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.
