Synopsis

  • Manages MTU settings on HUAWEI CloudEngine switches.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
interface
string
Full name of interface, i.e. 40GE1/0/22.
jumbo_max
string
Maximum frame size. The default value is 9216. The value is an integer and expressed in bytes. The value range is 1536 to 12224 for the CE12800 and 1536 to 12288 for ToR switches.
jumbo_min
string
Non-jumbo frame size threshold. The default value is 1518. The value is an integer that ranges from 1518 to jumbo_max, in bytes.
mtu
string
MTU for a specific interface. The value is an integer ranging from 46 to 9600, in bytes.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Specify desired state of the resource.

Notes

Note

  • Either sysmtu param is required or interface AND mtu params are req’d.
  • state=absent unconfigures a given MTU if that value is currently present.
  • Recommended connection is network_cli.
  • This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
