Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
dictionary
A dictionary of LLDP options
enabled
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable LLDP
holdtime
integer
LLDP holdtime (in sec) to be sent in packets.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
reinit
integer
Specify the delay (in secs) for LLDP to initialize.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
NOTE, if LLDP reinit is configured with a starting value, idempotency won't be maintained as the Cisco device doesn't record the starting reinit configured value. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective starting reinit value is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply starting reinit value in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True. For any other reinit value, idempotency will be maintained since any other reinit value is recorded in the Cisco device.
timer
integer
Specify the rate at which LLDP packets are sent (in sec).
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
tlv_select
dictionary
Selection of LLDP TLVs i.e. type-length-value to send
NOTE, if tlv-select is configured idempotency won't be maintained as Cisco device doesn't record configured tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
four_wire_power_management
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Cisco 4-wire Power via MDI TLV
mac_phy_cfg
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes

    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Port Description TLV
port_vlan
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Port VLAN ID TLV
power_management
boolean
    Choices:

  • yes
IEEE 802.3 DTE Power via MDI TLV
system_capabilities
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
System Capabilities TLV
system_description
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
System Description TLV
system_name
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
System Name TLV
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 ^lldp.
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
  • deleted
  • rendered
  • gathered
  • parsed
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.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Cisco IOSv Version 15.2 on VIRL.

Examples

# Using merged

# Before state:
# -------------
# vios#sh running-config | section ^lldp
# vios1#


- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration
  cisco.ios.ios_lldp_global:
    config:
      holdtime: 10
      enabled: true
      reinit: 3
      timer: 10
    state: merged

# After state:
# ------------
# vios#sh running-config | section ^lldp
#  lldp timer 10
#  lldp holdtime 10
#  lldp reinit 3
#  lldp run
