slxos_interface – Manage Interfaces on Extreme SLX-OS network devices

New in version 2.6.

Synopsis

• This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Extreme SLX-OS network devices.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
aggregate -			List of Interfaces definitions.
delay -		Default: 10	Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values up/down, tx_rate and rx_rate.
description -			Description of Interface.
enabled boolean		Choices: no yes ←	Interface link status.
mtu -			Maximum size of transmit packet.
name - / required			Name of the Interface.
neighbors -			Check the operational state of given interface name for LLDP neighbor. The following suboptions are available.
	host -		LLDP neighbor host for given interface name.
	port -		LLDP neighbor port to which given interface name is connected.
rx_rate -			Receiver rate in bits per second (bps).
speed -			Interface link speed.
state -		Choices: present ← absent up down	State of the Interface configuration, up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down
tx_rate -			Transmit rate in bits per second (bps).

Notes

Note

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
commands list	always, except for the platforms that use Netconf transport to manage the device.	The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device. Sample: ['interface Ethernet 0/2', 'description test-interface', 'mtu 1548']

Status

• This module is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface. [preview]
