eos_lldp_interfaces

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 Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Arista EOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter Defaults / Choices Comments
config
list / elements=dict
A dictionary of LLDP interfaces options.
config.name Full name of the interface (i.e. Ethernet1).
config.receive Enable/disable LLDP RX on an interface.
config.transmit Enable/disable LLDP TX on an interface.
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 ^interface).
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, overridden, deleted, parsed, gathered, rendered
The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Arista EOS 4.24.6F
  • This module works with connection C(network_cli). See the L(EOS Platform Options,../network/user_guide/platform_eos.html).
