  • When using auth_mode=none, it will restore the default DLDP authentication mode. By default, DLDP packets are not authenticated.
  • By default, the working mode of DLDP is enhance, so you are advised to use work_mode=enhance to restore default DLDP working mode.
  • The default interval for sending Advertisement packets is 5 seconds, so you are advised to use time_interval=5 to restore default DLDP interval.
  • This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
  • Recommended connection is netconf.
  • This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
