cisco.nxos.nxos_lag_interfaces – LAG interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 2.7.0).

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.nxos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_lag_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.nxos

Synopsis

  • This module manages attributes of link aggregation groups of NX-OS Interfaces.

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
The list of interfaces that are part of the group.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
When true it forces link aggregation group members to match what is declared in the members param. This can be used to remove members.
member
string
The interface name.
mode
string
    Choices:
  • active
  • on
  • passive
Link aggregation group (LAG).
name
string / required
Name of the link aggregation group (LAG).
running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS 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
  • gathered
  • rendered
  • parsed
The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL.
  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS
  • This module works with connection network_cli.

Examples

# Using merged

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4

- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration.

    - name: port-channel99
      members:
      - member: Ethernet1/4
    state: merged

# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 99


# Using replaced

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 99 mode active

- name: Replace device configuration of specified LAG attributes of given interfaces
    with provided configuration.
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lag_interfaces:

# After state:
# ------------

# Using overridden

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 10

#   channel-group 99 mode passive

- name: Override device configuration of all LAG attributes of given interfaces on
    device with provided configuration.
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lag_interfaces:
    config:
    - name: port-channel20

      - member: Ethernet1/6
        force: true
    state: overridden

# interface Ethernet1/6
#   channel-group 20 force


# Using deleted
