arista.eos.eos_l3_interfaces – L3 interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the arista.eos collection (version 1.2.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install arista.eos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: arista.eos.eos_l3_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of arista.eos

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of Layer 3 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 Layer 3 interface options
ipv4
list / elements=dictionary
List of IPv4 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 interface mentioned in name option.
address
string
IPv4 address to be set in the format <ipv4 address>/<mask> eg. 192.0.2.1/24, or dhcp to query DHCP for an IP address.
secondary
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether or not this address is a secondary address.
ipv6
list / elements=dictionary
List of IPv6 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 interface mentioned in name option.
address
string
IPv6 address to be set in the address format is <ipv6 address>/<mask> eg. 2001:db8:2201:1::1/64 or auto-config to use SLAAC to chose an address.
name
string / required
Full name of the interface, i.e. Ethernet1.
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 ^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
  • parsed
  • gathered
  • rendered
The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Arista EOS 4.20.10M
  • This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options. ‘eos_l2_interfaces/eos_interfaces’ should be used for preparing the interfaces , before applying L3 configurations using this module (eos_l3_interfaces).
