eos_lldp_global

Collection Note

This module is part of the arista.eos collection. To install the collection, use:

ansible-galaxy collection install arista.eos

Added in version 1.0.0.

Synopsis

• This module manages Global Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) settings on Arista EOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter	Defaults / Choices	Comments
config dict		The provided global LLDP configuration.
config.holdtime		Specifies the holdtime (in sec) to be sent in packets.
config.reinit		Specifies the delay (in sec) for LLDP initialization on any interface.
config.timer		Specifies the rate at which LLDP packets are sent (in sec).
config.tlv_select		Specifies the LLDP TLVs to enable or disable.
running_config str		This option is used only with state I(parsed). The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command B(show running-config | section lldp). The state I(parsed) reads the configuration from C(running_config) option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the I(parsed) key within the result.
state str	Default: merged Choices: merged, replaced, deleted, rendered, gathered, parsed	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes
