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
bool
    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

  • Tested against SLX-OS 17s.1.02

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