ce_vrrp – Manages VRRP interfaces on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

• Manages VRRP interface attributes on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
admin_flowdown boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Disable the flowdown function for service VRRP.
admin_ignore_if_down boolean	Choices: no ← yes	mVRRP ignores an interface Down event.
admin_interface -		Tracked mVRRP interface name. The value is a string of 1 to 63 characters.
admin_vrid -		Tracked mVRRP ID. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 255.
advertise_interval -		Configured interval between sending advertisements, in milliseconds. Only the master router sends VRRP advertisements. The default value is 1000 milliseconds.
auth_key -		This object is set based on the authentication type. When noAuthentication is specified, the value is empty. When simpleTextPassword or md5Authentication is specified, the value is a string of 1 to 8 characters in plaintext and displayed as a blank text for security.
auth_mode string	Choices: simple md5 none	Authentication type used for VRRP packet exchanges between virtual routers. The values are noAuthentication, simpleTextPassword, md5Authentication. The default value is noAuthentication.
fast_resume string	Choices: enable disable	mVRRP's fast resume mode.
gratuitous_arp_interval -		Interval at which gratuitous ARP packets are sent, in seconds. The value ranges from 30 to 1200.The default value is 300.
holding_multiplier -		The configured holdMultiplier.The value is an integer ranging from 3 to 10. The default value is 3.
interface -		Name of an interface. The value is a string of 1 to 63 characters.
is_plain boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Select the display mode of an authentication key. By default, an authentication key is displayed in ciphertext.
preempt_timer_delay -		Preemption delay. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 3600. The default value is 0.
priority -		Configured VRRP priority. The value ranges from 1 to 254. The default value is 100. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
recover_delay -		Delay in recovering after an interface goes Up. The delay is used for interface flapping suppression. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 3600. The default value is 0 seconds.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Specify desired state of the resource.
version string	Choices: v2 v3	VRRP version. The default version is v2.
virtual_ip -		Virtual IP address. The value is a string of 0 to 255 characters.
vrid -	Default: "present"	VRRP backup group ID. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 255.
vrrp_type string	Choices: normal member admin	Type of a VRRP backup group.

Notes

Note

• 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.
