New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of Layer 3 interfaces on Arista EOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary of Layer 3 interface options
ipv4
list / elements=dictionary
List of IPv4 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 interface mentioned in name option.
address
string
IPv4 address to be set in the format <ipv4 address>/<mask> eg. 192.0.2.1/24, or dhcp to query DHCP for an IP address.

boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether or not this address is a secondary address.
ipv6
list / elements=dictionary
List of IPv6 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 interface mentioned in name option.
address
string
IPv6 address to be set in the address format is <ipv6 address>/<mask> eg. 2001:db8:2201:1::1/64 or auto-config to use SLAAC to chose an address.
name
string / required
Full name of the interface, i.e. Ethernet1.
state
string
