iosxr_interface - Manage Interface on Cisco IOS XR network devices
New in version 2.4.
Synopsis
- This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Cisco IOS XR network devices.
 
Options
| parameter | required | default | choices | comments | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aggregate | 
      no | 
        
        List of Interfaces definitions.
         | 
     ||
| delay | 
      no | 10 | 
        
        Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values  up/down, tx_rate and rx_rate.

  | 
      
        
        Interface link status
         | 
     |
| enabled | 
      no |

         | 
     ||
| name | 
      yes |

     ||
| speed | 
      no | 
        
        Interface link speed.
         | 
     ||

      no | present | 
       
  | 
      
        
        State of the Interface configuration,  up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down
        | 
     
| tx_rate | 
      no | 
        
        Transmit rate in bits per second (bps).

Common return values are documented here Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| name | description | returned | type | sample | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| commands | 
        
        The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device.
         | 
      always, except for the platforms that use Netconf transport to manage the device. | list | ['interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2', 'description test-interface', 'duplex half', 'mtu 512'] | 
Notes
Note
- Tested against IOS XR 6.1.2
 
Status
This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
