Synopsis ¶

This module manages the Layer-2 interface attributes on Cisco IOS-XR devices.

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of Layer-2 interface options
	l2protocol list			Configures Layer 2 protocol tunneling and protocol data unit (PDU) filtering on an interface.
		cdp string	Choices: drop forward tunnel	Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) tunneling and data unit parameters.
		pvst string	Choices: drop forward tunnel	Configures the per-VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (PVST) tunneling and data unit parameters.
		stp string	Choices: drop forward tunnel	Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) tunneling and data unit parameters.
		vtp string	Choices: drop forward tunnel	VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) tunneling and data unit parameters.
	l2transport boolean		Choices: no yes	Switchport mode access command to configure the interface as a layer 2 access
	name string / required			Full name of the interface/sub-interface excluding any logical unit number, e.g. GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1 or GigabitEthernet0/0/0/1.100.
	native_vlan integer			Configure a native VLAN ID for the trunk
	propagate boolean		Choices: no yes	Propagate Layer 2 transport events. Note that it will work only when the l2tranport option is set to TRUE
	q_vlan list			802.1Q VLAN configuration. Note that it can accept either 2 VLAN IDs when configuring Q-in-Q VLAN, or it will accept 1 VLAN ID and 'any' as input list when configuring Q-in-any vlan as input. Note, that this option is valid only with respect to Sub-Interface and is not valid when configuring for Interface.
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.
