slxos_interface - Manage Interfaces on Extreme SLX-OS network devices

New in version 2.6.

Synopsis

• This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Extreme SLX-OS 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.
enabled bool		Choices: no yes ←	Interface link status.
mtu			Maximum size of transmit packet.
name required			Name of the Interface.
neighbors			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.
rx_rate			Receiver rate in bits per second (bps).
speed			Interface link speed.
state		Choices: present ← absent up down	State of the Interface configuration, up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down
tx_rate			Transmit rate in bits per second (bps).

Notes

Note

• Tested against SLX-OS 17s.1.02

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 Ethernet 0/2', 'description test-interface', 'mtu 1548']

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.

Maintenance

This module is flagged as community which means that it is maintained by the Ansible Community. See Module Maintenance & Support for more info.
