ios_lldp_interfaces – Manage link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Cisco IOS devices¶
New in version 2.9.
Synopsis¶
This module manages link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Cisco IOS devices.
Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
config
list
/ elements=dictionary
|
A dictionary of LLDP options
|
|||
med_tlv_select
dictionary
|
Selection of LLDP MED TLVs to send
NOTE, if med-tlv-select is configured idempotency won't be maintained as Cisco device doesn't record configured med-tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective med-tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply med-tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
|
|||
inventory_management
boolean
|
|
LLDP MED Inventory Management TLV
|
||
name
string
/ required
|
Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.
|
|||
receive
boolean
|
|
Enable LLDP reception on interface.
|
||
tlv_select
dictionary
|
Selection of LLDP type-length-value i.e. TLVs to send
NOTE, if tlv-select is configured idempotency won't be maintained as Cisco device doesn't record configured tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
|
|||
power_management
boolean
|
|
IEEE 802.3 DTE Power via MDI TLV
|
||
transmit
boolean
|
|
Enable LLDP transmission on interface.
|
||
state
string
|
|
The state of the configuration after module completion
|
