Synopsis

This module creates and manages VLAN configurations on Cisco NX-OS.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary			A dictionary of Vlan options
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	Manage administrative state of the vlan.
	mapped_vni integer		The Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) ID that is mapped to the VLAN.
	mode string	Choices: ce fabricpath	Set vlan mode to classical ethernet or fabricpath. This is a valid option for Nexus 5000, 6000 and 7000 series.
	name string		Name of VLAN.
	state string	Choices: active suspend	Manage operational state of the vlan.
	vlan_id integer / required		Vlan ID.
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 commands show vlans \| json-pretty and show running-config \| section ^vlan in order and delimited by a line. 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. The state overridden would override the configuration of all the VLANs on the device (including VLAN 1) with the provided configuration in the task. Use caution with this state.

Notes

Note

Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
Unsupported for Cisco MDS
