Synopsis
- This module provides declarative management of Layer-2 interfaces on Cisco IOS devices.
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
access_vlan - |
Configure given VLAN in access port. If | ||
aggregate - |
List of Layer-2 interface definitions. | ||
auth_pass string |
Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using For more information please see the IOS 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 For more information please see the IOS 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 |
Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.
| ||
native_vlan - |
Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. If | ||
provider dictionary |
Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using 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 | ||
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 string / 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 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 | ||
port integer |
Default: 22 |
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 | ||
timeout integer |
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. | |
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 | ||
state - |
|
Manage the state of the Layer-2 Interface configuration. | |
trunk_allowed_vlans - |
List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. If | ||
trunk_vlans - |
List of VLANs to be configured in trunk port. If |

Examples
- name: Ensure GigabitEthernet0/5 is in its default l2 interface state
ios_l2_interface:
name: GigabitEthernet0/5
state: unconfigured
- name: Ensure GigabitEthernet0/5 is configured for access vlan 20
ios_l2_interface:
name: GigabitEthernet0/5
mode: access
access_vlan: 20
- name: Ensure GigabitEthernet0/5 only has vlans 5-10 as trunk vlans
ios_l2_interface:
name: GigabitEthernet0/5
mode: trunk
native_vlan: 10
trunk_allowed_vlans: 5-10
- name: Ensure GigabitEthernet0/5 is a trunk port and ensure 2-50 are being tagged (doesn't mean others aren't also being tagged)
ios_l2_interface:
name: GigabitEthernet0/5
mode: trunk
native_vlan: 10
trunk_vlans: 2-50
- name: Ensure these VLANs are not being tagged on the trunk
ios_l2_interface:
name: GigabitEthernet0/5
mode: trunk
trunk_vlans: 51-4094
state: absent
