ios_lldp_global – Configure and manage Link Layer Discovery Protocol(LLDP) attributes on IOS platforms
New in version 2.9.
Synopsis
- This module configures and manages the Link Layer Discovery Protocol(LLDP) attributes on IOS platforms.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| config
dictionary
|
A dictionary of LLDP options
|
|||
| enabled
boolean
|
|
Enable LLDP
|
||
| holdtime
integer
|
LLDP holdtime (in sec) to be sent in packets.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
|
|||
| reinit
integer
|
Specify the delay (in secs) for LLDP to initialize.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
NOTE, if LLDP reinit is configured with a starting value, idempotency won't be maintained as the Cisco device doesn't record the starting reinit configured value. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective starting reinit value is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply starting reinit value in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True. For any other reinit value, idempotency will be maintained since any other reinit value is recorded in the Cisco device.
|
|||
| timer
integer
|
Specify the rate at which LLDP packets are sent (in sec).
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
|
|||
| tlv_select
dictionary
|
Selection of LLDP TLVs i.e. type-length-value to send
NOTE, if tlv-select is configured idempotency won't be maintained as Cisco device doesn't record configured tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
