Synopsis ¶

This module manages the interface attributes on Cisco IOS-XR network devices.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary			A dictionary of interface options
	description string		Interface description.
	duplex string	Choices: full half	Configures the interface duplex mode. Default is auto-negotiation when not configured.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Administrative state of the interface. Set the value to `True` to administratively enable the interface or `False` to disable it.
	mtu integer		Sets the MTU value for the interface. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
	name string / required		Full name of the interface to configure in `type + path` format. e.g. `GigabitEthernet0/0/0/0`
	speed integer		Configure the speed for an interface. Default is auto-negotiation when not configured.
state string		Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes ¶

Note

Tested against Cisco IOS-XRv Version 6.1.3 on VIRL.
This module works with connection network_cli. See the IOS-XR Platform Options.
