Synopsis

This module manages link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Cisco IOS devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of LLDP options
	med_tlv_select dictionary			Selection of LLDP MED TLVs to send NOTE, if med-tlv-select is configured idempotency won't be maintained as Cisco device doesn't record configured med-tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective med-tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply med-tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
		inventory_management boolean	Choices: no yes	LLDP MED Inventory Management TLV
	name string / required			Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.
	receive boolean		Choices: no yes	Enable LLDP reception on interface.
	tlv_select dictionary			Selection of LLDP type-length-value i.e. TLVs 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.
		power_management boolean	Choices: no yes	IEEE 802.3 DTE Power via MDI TLV
	transmit boolean		Choices: no yes	Enable LLDP transmission on 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 device by executing the command sh lldp 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 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.
