Note
This plugin is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 2.7.0).
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 cisco.nxos.
To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_bfd_interfaces.
New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.nxos
Synopsis
- Manages attributes of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the interface.
 
Note
This module has a corresponding action plugin.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| config
        
        list / elements=dictionary
         | 
      
        
        The provided configuration
         | 
     ||
| bfd
        
        string
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Enable/Disable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the interface.
         | 
     |
| echo
        
        string
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Enable/Disable BFD Echo functionality on the interface.
         | 
     |
| name
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        The name of the interface.
         | 
     ||
| running_config
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        This option is used only with state parsed.
        
       
        The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config | section '^interface|^feature bfd'.
        
       
        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 NX-OS 7.0(3)I5(1).
 - Unsupported for Cisco MDS
 - Feature bfd should be enabled for this module.
