Synopsis

This module manages the L3 interface attributes on VyOS network devices.

Parameters

Parameter				Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary					The provided L3 interfaces configuration.
	ipv4 list / elements=dictionary				List of IPv4 addresses of the interface.
		address string			IPv4 address of the interface.
	ipv6 list / elements=dictionary				List of IPv6 addresses of the interface.
		address string			IPv6 address of the interface.
	name string / required				Full name of the interface, e.g. eth0, eth1.
	vifs list / elements=dictionary				Virtual sub-interfaces L3 configurations.
		ipv4 list / elements=dictionary			List of IPv4 addresses of the virtual interface.
			address string		IPv4 address of the virtual interface.
		ipv6 list / elements=dictionary			List of IPv6 addresses of the virtual interface.
			address string		IPv6 address of the virtual interface.
		vlan_id integer			Identifier for the virtual sub-interface.
state string				Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

Tested against VyOS 1.1.8 (helium).
This module works with connection network_cli. See the VyOS OS Platform Options.
