Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

aggregate

list / elements=dictionary

List of link aggregation definitions.

group

string / required

Channel-group number for the port-channel Link aggregation group. Range 1-255.

members

list / elements=string

List of members of the link aggregation group.

mode

string

  • active
  • on
  • passive
  • auto
  • desirable

Mode of the link aggregation group.

On mode has to be quoted as 'on' or else pyyaml will convert to True before it gets to Ansible.

state

string

  • present
  • absent

State of the link aggregation group.

group

integer

Channel-group number for the port-channel Link aggregation group. Range 1-255.

members

list / elements=string

List of members of the link aggregation group.

mode

string

  • active
  • on
  • passive
  • auto
  • desirable

Mode of the link aggregation group.

On mode has to be quoted as 'on' or else pyyaml will convert to True before it gets to Ansible.

provider

dictionary

Deprecated

Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli.

For more information please see the IOS Platform Options guide.

A dict object containing connection details.

auth_pass

string

Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead.

authorize

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead.

host

string

Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.

password

string

Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.

port

integer

Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.

ssh_keyfile

path

Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.

timeout

integer

Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.

username

string

Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.

purge

boolean

  • no

  • yes

Purge links not defined in the aggregate parameter.

state

string

  • present

  • absent

State of the link aggregation group.

Examples

- name: create link aggregation group
  cisco.ios.ios_linkagg:
    group: 10
    state: present

- name: delete link aggregation group
  cisco.ios.ios_linkagg:
    group: 10
    state: absent

- name: set link aggregation group to members
  cisco.ios.ios_linkagg:
    group: 200
    mode: active
    members:
    - GigabitEthernet0/0
    - GigabitEthernet0/1

- name: remove link aggregation group from GigabitEthernet0/0

    group: 200
    mode: active
    members:
    - GigabitEthernet0/1

- name: Create aggregate of linkagg definitions
  cisco.ios.ios_linkagg:
    aggregate:
    - {group: 3, mode: on, members: [GigabitEthernet0/1]}
    - {group: 100, mode: passive, members: [GigabitEthernet0/2]}

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description

commands

list / elements=string

always, except for the platforms that use Netconf transport to manage the device.
