net_interface – Manage Interface on network devices
New in version 2.4.
Synopsis
- This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on 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 , tx_rate and rx_rate. |
description - | Description of Interface. | |
duplex - |
| Interface link status |
enabled - | Configure interface link status. | |
mtu - | Maximum size of transmit packet. | |
name - / required | Name of the Interface. | |
purge - | Default: "no" | Purge Interfaces not defined in the aggregate parameter. This applies only for logical interface. |
rx_rate - | Receiver rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
| |
speed - | Interface link speed. | |
state - |
| State of the Interface configuration, up indicates present and operationally up and down indicates present and operationally down
|
tx_rate - | Transmit rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
|
Notes
Note
- This module is supported on
ansible_network_os
network platforms. See the Network Platform Options for details.
Examples
- name: configure interface net_interface: name: ge-0/0/1 description: test-interface - name: remove interface net_interface: name: ge-0/0/1 state: absent - name: make interface up net_interface: name: ge-0/0/1 description: test-interface enabled: True - name: make interface down net_interface: name: ge-0/0/1 description: test-interface enabled: False - name: Create interface using aggregate net_interface: aggregate: - { name: ge-0/0/1, description: test-interface-1 } - { name: ge-0/0/2, description: test-interface-2 } speed: 1g duplex: full mtu: 512 - name: Delete interface using aggregate junos_interface: aggregate: - { name: ge-0/0/1 } - { name: ge-0/0/2 } state: absent - name: Check intent arguments net_interface: name: fxp0 state: up tx_rate: ge(0) rx_rate: le(0) - name: Config + intent net_interface: name: fxp0 enabled: False state: down
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: ['interface 20', 'name test-interface'] |
Status
- This module is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface. [preview]
- This module is maintained by the Ansible Network Team. [network]
