cisco.ios.ios_lag_interfaces – LAG interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 2.5.0).

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.ios.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_lag_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.ios

Synopsis

This module manages properties of Link Aggregation Group on Cisco IOS devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A list of link aggregation group configurations.
	members list / elements=dictionary			Interface options for the link aggregation group.
		link integer		Assign a link identifier used for load-balancing. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values. NOTE, parameter only supported on Cisco IOS XE platform.
		member string		Interface member of the link aggregation group.
		mode string / required	Choices: auto on desirable active passive	Etherchannel Mode of the interface for link aggregation. On mode has to be quoted as 'on' or else pyyaml will convert to True before it gets to Ansible.
	name string / required			ID of Ethernet Channel of interfaces. Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
running_config string				This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS 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 rendered parsed gathered	The state the configuration should be left in The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in `config` option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from `running_config` option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of `running_config` option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config \| include ip route\|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Note

Tested against Cisco IOSv Version 15.2 on VIRL.

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
after list / elements=string	when changed	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list / elements=string	always	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
commands list / elements=string	always	The set of commands pushed to the remote device Sample: ['interface GigabitEthernet0/1', 'channel-group 1 mode active']
