Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
config
list / elements=dictionary
|
A dictionary of interface options
|
||
description
string
|
Interface description.
|
||
duplex
string
|
|
Configures the interface duplex mode. Default is auto-negotiation when not configured.
|
|
enabled
boolean
|
|
Administrative state of the interface.
Set the value to True to administratively enable the interface or False to disable it.
|
|
mtu
integer
|
Sets the MTU value for the interface. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
|
||
name
string / required
|
Full name of the interface to configure in type + path format. e.g. GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0
|
||
speed
integer
|
Configure the speed for an interface. Default is auto-negotiation when not configured.
|
||
running_config
string
|
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS-XR device by executing the command show running-config 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
|
Notes
Note
- Tested against Cisco IOS-XRv Version 6.1.3 on VIRL.
- This module works with connection
network_cli
. See the IOS-XR Platform Options.
