Synopsis

This module provides declarative management of Layer-2 interface on Arista EOS devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of Layer-2 interface options
	access dictionary			Switchport mode access command to configure the interface as a layer 2 access.
		vlan integer		Configure given VLAN in access port. It's used as the access VLAN ID.
	mode string		Choices: access trunk	Mode in which interface needs to be configured. Access mode is not shown in interface facts, so idempotency will not be maintained for switchport mode access and every time the output will come as changed=True.
	name string / required			Full name of interface, e.g. Ethernet1.
	trunk dictionary			Switchport mode trunk command to configure the interface as a Layer 2 trunk.
		native_vlan integer		Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. It is used as the trunk native VLAN ID.
		trunk_allowed_vlans list / elements=string		List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. These are the only VLANs that will be configured on the trunk.
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.
