cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l2_interfaces – L2 interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.iosxr 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.iosxr.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l2_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.iosxr

Synopsis

  • This module manages the Layer-2 interface attributes on Cisco IOS-XR devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary of Layer-2 interface options
encapsulation
dictionary
Specify which packets will be matched by this sub-interface.
dot1q
integer
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-tagged packets.
second_dot1q
integer
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-tagged packets.
l2protocol
list / elements=dictionary
Configures Layer 2 protocol tunneling and protocol data unit (PDU) filtering on an interface.
cdp
string
    Choices:
  • drop
  • forward
  • tunnel
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) tunneling and data unit parameters.
cpsv
string
    Choices:
  • drop
  • reverse-tunnel
  • tunnel
CDP, PVST+, STP, and VTP protocols.
pvst
string
    Choices:
  • drop
  • forward
  • tunnel
Configures the per-VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (PVST) tunneling and data unit parameters.
stp
string
    Choices:
  • drop
  • forward
  • tunnel
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) tunneling and data unit parameters.
vtp
string
    Choices:
  • drop
  • forward
  • tunnel
VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) tunneling and data unit parameters.
l2transport
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Switchport mode access command to configure the interface as a layer 2 access
name
string / required
Full name of the interface/sub-interface excluding any logical unit number, e.g. GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1 or GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1.100.
native_vlan
integer
Configure a native VLAN ID for the trunk
propagate
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Propagate Layer 2 transport events. Note that it will work only when the l2tranport option is set to TRUE
q_vlan
list / elements=integer
802.1Q VLAN configuration. Note that it can accept either 2 VLAN IDs when configuring Q-in-Q VLAN, or it will accept 1 VLAN ID and 'any' as input list when configuring Q-in-any vlan as input. Note, that this option is valid only with respect to Sub-Interface and is not valid when configuring for Interface.
running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS-XR device by executing the command show running-config 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
  • gathered
  • parsed
The state of the configuration after module completion
