cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces – LLDP interfaces resource module

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_lldp_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.nxos

Synopsis

  • This module manages interfaces’ configuration for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on NX-OS platforms.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
list / elements=dictionary
A list of link layer discovery configurations for interfaces.
name
string / required
Name of the interface
receive
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Used to enable or disable the reception of LLDP packets on that interface. By default, this is enabled after LLDP is enabled globally.
tlv_set
dictionary
Used to configure TLV parameters on the interface
management_address
string
Used to mention the IPv4 or IPv6 management address for the interface
vlan
integer
Used to mention the VLAN for the interface
transmit
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Used to enable or disable the transmission of LLDP packets on that interface. By default, this is enabled after LLDP is enabled globally.
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.
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
    Choices:
  • merged ←
  • replaced
  • overridden
  • deleted
  • gathered
  • rendered
  • parsed
The state the configuration should be left in

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS
  • The LLDP feature needs to be enabled before using this module

      transmit: true
      tlv_set:
        management_address: 192.168.122.64
      vlan: 12
    state: merged

# After state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv-set management-address 192.168.122.64
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 12


# Using replaced

# Before state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv-set management-address 192.168.122.64
# interface Ethernet1/5
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 10

- name: Replace LLDP configuration on interfaces with given configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
    - name: Ethernet1/4
      transmit: no
      tlv_set:
        vlan: 2
    state: replaced


# After state:
# -----------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv_set vlan 2
# interface Ethernet1/5
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 10


# Using overridden

# Before state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv-set management-address 192.168.122.64
# interface Ethernet1/5
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 10

- name: Override LLDP configuration on all interfaces with given configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
    - name: Ethernet1/7
      receive: no
      tlv_set:
        vlan: 12
    state: overridden


# After state:
# -----------
#
# interface Ethernet1/7
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv_set vlan 12


# Using deleted

# Before state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   lldp tlv-set management vlan 24
#   no lldp transmit
# interface mgmt0
#   no lldp receive

- name: Delete LLDP interfaces configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces:
    state: deleted

# After state:
# ------------
