      description: 'Configured by Ansible'
      mode: layer3
      provider: '{{ cli }}'

  - name: Admin down an interface
    ce_interface:

  - name: Remove all logical interfaces
    ce_interface:
      interface_type: '{{ item }}'
      state: absent
      provider: '{{ cli }}'
    with_items:
      - loopback
      - eth-trunk
      - nve

  - name: Admin up all 10GE interfaces
    ce_interface:

Return Values

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

Key Returned Description
changed
boolean
 always
check to see if a change was made on the device

Sample:
True
end_state
dict
 always
k/v pairs of switchport after module execution

Sample:
{'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'admin_state': 'down', 'description': 'None', 'mode': 'layer2'}
existing
dict
 always
k/v pairs of existing switchport

Sample:
{'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'admin_state': 'up', 'description': 'None', 'mode': 'layer2'}
proposed
dict
 always
k/v pairs of parameters passed into module

Sample:
{'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'admin_state': 'down'}
updates
list
 always
command list sent to the device

Sample:
['interface 10GE1/0/10', 'shutdown']


Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
