New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

• Manages physical attributes of interfaces on HUAWEI CloudEngine switches.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
admin_state -	Choices: up down	Specifies the interface management status. The value is an enumerated type. up, An interface is in the administrative Up state. down, An interface is in the administrative Down state.
description -		Specifies an interface description. The value is a string of 1 to 242 case-sensitive characters, spaces supported but question marks (?) not supported.
interface -		Full name of interface, i.e. 40GE1/0/10, Tunnel1.

l2sub boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Specifies whether the interface is a Layer 2 sub-interface.
mode -	Choices: layer2 layer3	Manage Layer 2 or Layer 3 state of the interface.
state -	Choices: present ← absent default	Specify desired state of the resource.

Notes

Note

• This module is also used to create logical interfaces such as vlanif and loopbacks.
• This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
• Recommended connection is netconf.
• This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.

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

Key	Returned	Description
changed boolean	always	check to see if a change was made on the device Sample: True
end_state dictionary	always	k/v pairs of switchport after module execution Sample: {'admin_state': 'down', 'description': 'None', 'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'mode': 'layer2'}
existing dictionary	always	k/v pairs of existing switchport Sample: {'admin_state': 'up', 'description': 'None', 'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'mode': 'layer2'}
proposed dictionary	always	k/v pairs of parameters passed into module Sample: {'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'admin_state': 'down'}
updates list	always	command list sent to the device Sample: ['interface 10GE1/0/10', 'shutdown']
