Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
access_vlan - |
Configure given VLAN in access port. If | ||
aggregate - |
List of Layer-2 interface definitions. | ||
auth_pass - |
Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using This option is only required if you are using eAPI. For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide. 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 | ||
authorize boolean |
|
Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using This option is only required if you are using eAPI. For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide. 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 | |
mode - |
|
Mode in which interface needs to be configured. | |
name - / required |
Name of the interface
| ||
native_vlan - |
Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. If | ||
provider - |
Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using This option is only required if you are using eAPI. For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details. | ||
auth_pass - |
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 | ||
authorize boolean |
|
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 | |
host - / required |
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 - |
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or eapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable | ||
port - |
Default: "0 (use common port)" |
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or eapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443). | |
ssh_keyfile - |
Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable | ||
timeout - |
Default: 10 |
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. | |
transport - / required |
|
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
use_proxy boolean added in 2.5 |
|
If | |
use_ssl boolean |
|
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the | |
username - |
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the eAPI authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable | ||
validate_certs boolean |
|
If | |
state - |
|
Manage the state of the Layer-2 Interface configuration. | |
trunk_allowed_vlans - |
List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. If
|

Examples
- name: Ensure Ethernet1 does not have any switchport
eos_l2_interface:
name: Ethernet1
state: absent
- name: Ensure Ethernet1 is configured for access vlan 20
eos_l2_interface:
name: Ethernet1
mode: access
access_vlan: 20
- name: Ensure Ethernet1 is a trunk port and ensure 2-50 are being tagged (doesn't mean others aren't also being tagged)
eos_l2_interface:
name: Ethernet1
mode: trunk
native_vlan: 10
trunk_allowed_vlans: 2-50
- name: Set switchports on aggregate
eos_l2_interface:
aggregate:
- { name: ethernet1, mode: access, access_vlan: 20}
- { name: ethernet2, mode: trunk, native_vlan: 10}
Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
---|---|---|
commands list |
always. |
The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device
Sample: ['interface ethernet1', 'switchport access vlan 20'] |
Status
