vyos_interface - Manage Interface on VyOS network devices
New in version 2.4.
Synopsis
- This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on VyOS network devices.
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
aggregate | List of Interfaces definitions. | ||
delay | Default: 10 | Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values up /down and neighbors. | |
description | Description of Interface. | ||
duplex |
| Interface link status. | |
enabled | Interface link status. | ||
mtu | Maximum size of transmit packet. | ||
name required | Name of the Interface. | ||
neighbors (added in 2.5) | Check the operational state of given interface name for LLDP neighbor.The following suboptions are available. | ||
host | LLDP neighbor host for given interface name . | ||
port | LLDP neighbor port to which given interface name is connected. | ||
provider | Default: None | Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli .For more information please see the Network 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 the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME 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. | ||
ssh_keyfile | 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 ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. | ||
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. | |
password | Default: None | 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 ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. | |
port | Default: 22 | Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. | |
speed | Interface link speed. | ||
state |
| State of the Interface configuration, up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down
|
Notes
Note
- Tested against VYOS 1.1.7
- For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide

Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
---|---|---|
commands list | always, except for the platforms that use Netconf transport to manage the device. | The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device Sample: ['set interfaces ethernet eth0 description "test-interface"', 'set interfaces ethernet eth0 speed 100', 'set interfaces ethernet eth0 mtu 256', 'set interfaces ethernet eth0 duplex full'] |
Status
This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
