community.network.cnos_interface – Manage Interface on Lenovo CNOS network devices

Note

This plugin is part of the community.network collection (version 3.0.0).

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 community.network.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.network.cnos_interface.

Synopsis

This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Lenovo CNOS network devices.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
aggregate string			List of Interfaces definitions.
delay string		Default: 20	Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values `up`/`down`, tx_rate and rx_rate
description string			Description of Interface.
duplex string		Choices: full half auto ←	Interface link status
enabled boolean		Choices: no yes ←	Interface link status.
mtu string			Maximum size of transmit packet.
name string / required			Name of the Interface.
neighbors string			Check operational state of given interface `name` for LLDP neighbor. The following suboptions are available.
	host string		LLDP neighbor host for given interface `name`.
	port string		LLDP neighbor port to which interface `name` is connected.
provider string			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli`. For more information please see the CNOS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_pass string		Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS` will be used instead.
	authorize boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE` will be used instead.
	host string / required		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
	port string	Default: 22	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
	ssh_keyfile string		Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
	timeout string	Default: 10	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	username string		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
rx_rate string			Receiver rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
speed string			Interface link speed.
state string		Choices: present ← absent up down	State of the Interface configuration, `up` means present and operationally up and `down` means present and operationally `down`
tx_rate string			Transmit rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
