  • The LLDP feature needs to be enabled before using this module

Examples

# Using merged
# Before state:
# -------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp

- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration
  nxos_lldp_global:
    config:
      timer: 35
      holdtime: 100
    state: merged

# After state:
# ------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp timer 35
# lldp holdtime 100


# Using replaced
# Before state:
# -------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp holdtime 100
# lldp reinit 5
# lldp timer 35

- name: Replace device configuration of specific LLDP attributes with provided configuration
  nxos_lldp_global:
    config:
      timer: 40
      tlv_select:
        system:
          description: true
          name: false
        management_address:
          v4: true
    state: replaced

# After state:
# ------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp timer 40
# no lldp tlv-select system-name


# Using deleted
# Before state:
# -------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp holdtime 5
# lldp reinit 3

- name: Delete LLDP configuration (this will by default remove all lldp configuration)
  nxos_lldp_global:
    state: deleted

# After state:
# ------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
