	version: 2.13
Why:	Updated modules released with more functionality
Alternative:	eos_vlans

Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of VLANs on Arista EOS network devices.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
aggregate -			List of VLANs definitions.
associated_interfaces - added in 2.5			This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vlan `name` for associated interfaces. The name of interface is case sensitive and should be in expanded format and not abbreviated. If the value in the `associated_interfaces` does not match with the operational state of vlan interfaces on device it will result in failure.
auth_pass string			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli` and `become: yes` with `become_pass`. This option is only required if you are using eAPI. For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide. Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS` will be used instead.
authorize boolean		Choices: no ← yes	Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli` and `become: yes`. This option is only required if you are using eAPI. For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide. Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE` will be used instead.
delay -		Default: 10	Delay the play should wait to check for declarative intent params values.
interfaces -			List of interfaces that should be associated to the VLAN. The name of interface is case sensitive and should be in expanded format and not abbreviated.
name -			Name of the VLAN.
provider dictionary			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli`. This option is only required if you are using eAPI. For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_pass string		Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS` will be used instead.
	authorize boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE` will be used instead.
	host string / required		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or eapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
	port integer	Default: 0	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or eapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task (cli=22, http=80, https=443).
	ssh_keyfile path		Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
	timeout integer		Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	transport string / required	Choices: cli ← eapi	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	use_proxy boolean added in 2.5	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, the environment variables `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` will be ignored.
	use_ssl boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Configures the transport to use SSL if set to `yes` only when the `transport=eapi`. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored.
	username string		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the eAPI authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored.
purge boolean		Choices: no ← yes	Purge VLANs not defined in the aggregate parameter.
state -		Choices: present ← absent active suspend	State of the VLAN configuration.
vlan_id - / required			ID of the VLAN.
