Synopsis

This module manages properties of Link Aggregation Group on Cisco IOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A list of link aggregation group configurations.
	members list			Interface options for the link aggregation group.
		link integer		Assign a link identifier used for load-balancing. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values. NOTE, parameter only supported on Cisco IOS XE platform.
		member string		Interface member of the link aggregation group.
		mode string	Choices: auto on desirable active passive	Etherchannel Mode of the interface for link aggregation.
	name string / required			ID of Ethernet Channel of interfaces. Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
state string			Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes

Note

Tested against Cisco IOSv Version 15.2 on VIRL
This module works with connection network_cli. See IOS Platform Options.
