This plugin is part of the arista.eos collection (version 2.2.0).
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_lacp_interfaces.
New in version 1.0.0: of arista.eos
Synopsis
- This module manages Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) attributes of interfaces on Arista EOS devices.
 
Note
This module has a corresponding action plugin.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| config
        
        list / elements=dictionary
         | 
      
        
        A dictionary of LACP interfaces options.
         | 
     ||
| name
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Full name of the interface (i.e. Ethernet1).
         | 
     ||
| port_priority
        
        integer
         | 
      
        
        LACP port priority for the interface. Range 1-65535.
         | 
     ||
| rate
        
        string
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Rate at which PDUs are sent by LACP. At fast rate LACP is transmitted once every 1 second. At normal rate LACP is transmitted every 30 seconds after the link is bundled.
         | 
     |
| 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 ^interfaces.
        
       
        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.
