cl_bridge - Configures a bridge port on Cumulus Linux

New in version 2.1.

DEPRECATED

Deprecated in 2.3. Use nclu instead.

Synopsis

  • Configures a bridge interface on Cumulus Linux To configure a bond port use the cl_bond module. To configure any other type of interface use the cl_interface module. Follow the guidelines for bridging found in the Cumulus User Guide at http://docs.cumulusnetworks.com

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • Alternate Debian network interface manager ifupdown2 @ github.com/CumulusNetworks/ifupdown2

List of IPv4 addresses to configure on the interface. In the form X.X.X.X/YY.
ipv6
 no
List of IPv6 addresses to configure on the interface. In the form X:X:X::X/YYY.
location
 no [u'/etc/network/interfaces.d']
Interface directory location.
mstpctl_treeprio
 no
Set spanning tree root priority. Must be a multiple of 4096.
mtu
 no
Set MTU. Configure Jumbo Frame by setting MTU to 9000.
name
 yes
Name of the interface.
ports
 yes
List of bridge members.
pvid
 no
In vlan-aware mode, defines vlan that is the untagged vlan.
stp
 no yes
  • yes
  • no

vids
 no
In vlan-aware mode, lists VLANs defined under the interface.
virtual_ip
 no
Define IPv4 virtual IP used by the Cumulus Linux VRR feature.
virtual_mac
 no
Define Ethernet mac associated with Cumulus Linux VRR feature.
vlan_aware
 no
  • yes
  • no
Enables vlan-aware mode.

Examples

# Options ['virtual_mac', 'virtual_ip'] are required together
# configure a bridge vlan aware bridge.
- cl_bridge:
    name: br0
    ports: 'swp1-12'
    vlan_aware: 'yes'
  notify: reload networking

# configure bridge interface to define a default set of vlans
- cl_bridge:
    name: bridge
    ports: 'swp1-12'
    vlan_aware: 'yes'
    vids: '1-100'
  notify: reload networking

# define cl_bridge once in tasks file
# then write interface config in variables file
# with just the options you want.
- cl_bridge:
    name: "{{ item.key }}"
    ports: "{{ item.value.ports }}"
    vlan_aware: "{{ item.value.vlan_aware|default(omit) }}"
    ipv4:  "{{ item.value.ipv4|default(omit) }}"
    ipv6: "{{ item.value.ipv6|default(omit) }}"
    alias_name: "{{ item.value.alias_name|default(omit) }}"
    addr_method: "{{ item.value.addr_method|default(omit) }}"
    mtu: "{{ item.value.mtu|default(omit) }}"
    vids: "{{ item.value.vids|default(omit) }}"
    virtual_ip: "{{ item.value.virtual_ip|default(omit) }}"
    virtual_mac: "{{ item.value.virtual_mac|default(omit) }}"
    mstpctl_treeprio: "{{ item.value.mstpctl_treeprio|default(omit) }}"
  with_dict: "{{ cl_bridges }}"
  notify: reload networking

# In vars file
# ============
---
cl_bridge:
  br0:
    alias_name: 'vlan aware bridge'
    ports: ['swp1', 'swp3']
    vlan_aware: true
    vids: ['1-100']

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
msg
human-readable report of success or failure
 always string interface bond0 config updated
changed
whether the interface was changed
 changed bool True

Notes

Note

  • As this module writes the interface directory location, ensure that /etc/network/interfaces has a ‘source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*’ or whatever path is mentioned in the location attribute.
  • For the config to be activated, i.e installed in the kernel, “service networking reload” needs be be executed. See EXAMPLES section.
