Synopsis

This module manages the interface attributes of Arista EOS interfaces.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary			The provided configuration
	description string		Interface description
	duplex string		Interface link status. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only. Values other than `auto` must also set speed. Ignored when speed is set above `1000`.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Administrative state of the interface. Set the value to `true` to administratively enable the interface or `false` to disable it.
	mode string	Choices: layer2 layer3	Manage Layer2 or Layer3 state of the interface. Applicable for Ethernet and port channel interfaces only.
	mtu integer		MTU for a specific interface. Must be an even number between 576 and 9216. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
	name string / required		Full name of the interface, e.g. GigabitEthernet1.
	speed string		Interface link speed. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
running_config string			This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS 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 parsed rendered gathered	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

Tested against Arista EOS 4.20.10M
This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.
