iosxr_interface - Manage Interface on Cisco IOS XR network devices

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Cisco IOS XR network devices.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
aggregate
 no
List of Interfaces definitions.
delay
 no 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
 no
Description of Interface.
duplex
 no
  • full
  • half
Interface link status
enabled
 no
Interface link status.
mtu
 no
Maximum size of transmit packet.
name
 yes
Name of the Interface.
rx_rate
 no
Receiver rate in bits per second (bps).
speed
 no
Interface link speed.
state
 no present
  • present
  • absent
  • up
  • down
State of the Interface configuration, up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down
tx_rate
 no
Transmit rate in bits per second (bps).

Examples

- name: configure interface
  iosxr_interface:
      name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
      description: test-interface
      speed: 100
      duplex: half
      mtu: 512

- name: remove interface
  iosxr_interface:
    name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
    state: absent

- name: make interface up
  iosxr_interface:
    name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
    enabled: True

- name: make interface down
  iosxr_interface:
    name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
    enabled: False

- name: Create interface using aggregate
  iosxr_interface:
    aggregate:
    - name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/3
    - name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
    speed: 100
    duplex: full
    mtu: 512
    state: present

- name: Delete interface using aggregate
  iosxr_interface:
    aggregate:
    - name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/3
    - name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2
    state: absent

- name: Check intent arguments
  iosxr_interface:
    name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5
    state: up
    delay: 20

- name: Config + intent
  iosxr_interface:
    name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/5
    enabled: False
    state: down
    delay: 20

Return Values

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

name description returned type sample
commands
The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device.
 always, except for the platforms that use Netconf transport to manage the device. list ['interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/2', 'description test-interface', 'duplex half', 'mtu 512']

Notes

Note

  • Tested against IOS XR 6.1.2

Status

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