Synopsis

This module provides declarative management of VLANs on VyOS network devices.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
address			Configure Virtual interface address.
aggregate			List of VLANs definitions.
associated_interfaces (added in 2.5)			This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vlan `name` for associated interfaces. If the value in the `associated_interfaces` does not match with the operational state of vlan on device it will result in failure.
delay		Default: 10	Delay the play should wait to check for declarative intent params values.
interfaces required			List of interfaces that should be associated to the VLAN.
name			Name of the VLAN.
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.
purge		Default: no	Purge VLANs not defined in the aggregate parameter.
state		Choices: present ← absent	State of the VLAN configuration.
vlan_id required			ID of the VLAN. Range 0-4094.
