eos_l2_interface - Manage L2 interfaces on Arista EOS network devices.
New in version 2.5.
Synopsis
- This module provides declarative management of L2 interfaces on Arista EOS network devices.
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
access_vlan | Configure given VLAN in access port. If mode=access , used as the access VLAN ID. | ||
aggregate | List of Layer-2 interface definitions. | ||
auth_pass | Default: none | Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli and become: yes with become_pass .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 ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead. | |
authorize |
| Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli and become: yes .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 ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead. | |
mode |
| Mode in which interface needs to be configured. | |
name required | Name of the interface aliases: interface | ||
native_vlan | Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. If mode=trunk , used as the trunk native VLAN ID. | ||
provider | Default: None | Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli .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. | |
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 ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. | ||
authorize |
| 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. | |
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 ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. | ||
use_proxy (added in 2.5) |
| If no , the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored. | |
auth_pass | Default: none | 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. | |
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. | ||
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. | |
use_ssl |
| Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport=eapi . If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. | |
password | Default: None | 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 ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. | |
validate_certs |
| 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 eapi, this value is ignored. | |
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). | |
transport required |
| Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
state |
| Manage the state of the Layer-2 Interface configuration. | |
trunk_allowed_vlans | List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. If mode=trunk , these are the ONLY VLANs that will be configured on the trunk, i.e. 2-10,15 .aliases: trunk_vlans |

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
This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
