Synopsis

Manages UDLD global configuration params.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
aggressive string		Choices: enabled disabled	Toggles aggressive mode.
msg_time string			Message time in seconds for UDLD packets or keyword 'default'.
provider dictionary			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli`. Starting with Ansible 2.6 we recommend using `connection: httpapi` for NX-API. This option will be removed in a release after 2022-06-01. For more information please see the https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_nxos.html. 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	Choices: 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 is a common argument used for either cli or nxapi transports. 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. This value applies to either cli or nxapi. 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 string		Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for the cli transport. 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. NX-API can be slow to return on long-running commands (sh mac, sh bgp, etc).
	transport string	Choices: cli ← nxapi	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh) or nxapi.
	use_proxy boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, the environment variables `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` will be ignored.
	use_ssl boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Configures the transport to use SSL if set to `yes` only when the `transport=nxapi`, otherwise this value is ignored.
	username string		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 nxapi authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not nxapi, this value is ignored.
reset boolean		Choices: no yes	Ability to reset all ports shut down by UDLD. 'state' parameter cannot be 'absent' when this is present.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Manage the state of the resource. When set to 'absent', aggressive and msg_time are set to their default values.

Notes

Note

Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
Unsupported for Cisco MDS
Module will fail if the udld feature has not been previously enabled.

Examples

# ensure udld aggressive mode is globally disabled and se global message interval is 20
- cisco.nxos.nxos_udld:
    aggressive: disabled
    msg_time: 20
    host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ un }}'
    password: '{{ pwd }}'

# Ensure agg mode is globally enabled and msg time is 15
- cisco.nxos.nxos_udld:
    aggressive: enabled
    msg_time: 15
    host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ un }}'
    password: '{{ pwd }}'
