- The LLDP feature needs to be enabled before using this module
Examples
# Using merged
# Before state:
# -------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration
nxos_lldp_global:
config:
timer: 35
holdtime: 100
state: merged
# After state:
# ------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp timer 35
# lldp holdtime 100
# Using replaced
# Before state:
# -------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp holdtime 100
# lldp reinit 5
# lldp timer 35
- name: Replace device configuration of specific LLDP attributes with provided configuration
nxos_lldp_global:
config:
timer: 40
tlv_select:
system:
description: true
name: false
management_address:
v4: true
state: replaced
# After state:
# ------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp timer 40
# no lldp tlv-select system-name
# Using deleted
# Before state:
# -------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
# lldp holdtime 5
# lldp reinit 3
- name: Delete LLDP configuration (this will by default remove all lldp configuration)
nxos_lldp_global:
state: deleted
# After state:
# ------------
#
# user(config)# show running-config | include lldp
# feature lldp
Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| Key | Returned | Description |
|---|---|---|
| after dictionary | when changed | The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above. |
| before dictionary | always | The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above. |
| commands list | always | The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['lldp holdtime 125', 'lldp reinit 4', 'no lldp tlv-select system-name'] |
Status
