cisco.ios.ios_lag_interfaces – LAG interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 2.5.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.ios.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_lag_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.ios

Synopsis

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

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
list / elements=dictionary
A list of link aggregation group configurations.
members
list / elements=dictionary
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 / required
    Choices:
  • auto
  • on
  • desirable
  • active
  • passive
Etherchannel Mode of the interface for link aggregation.
On mode has to be quoted as 'on' or else pyyaml will convert to True before it gets to Ansible.
name
string / required
ID of Ethernet Channel of interfaces.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command show running-config | section ^interface.
The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state
string
    Choices:
  • merged ←
  • replaced
  • overridden
  • deleted
  • rendered
  • parsed
  • gathered
The state the configuration should be left in
The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device.
The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required.
The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result.
The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config | include ip route|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Cisco IOSv Version 15.2 on VIRL.
