Synopsis

• This module provides declarative management of VLANs on Arista EOS network devices.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary			A dictionary of VLANs options
	name string		Name of the VLAN.
	state string	Choices: active suspend	Operational state of the VLAN
	vlan_id integer / required		ID of the VLAN. Range 1-4094
running_config string			This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command show running-config | section vlan. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value
state string		Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted rendered gathered parsed	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes

Note

• Tested against Arista EOS 4.24.6F
• This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.

Examples

# Using deleted

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    name twenty

- name: Delete attributes of the given VLANs.
  arista.eos.eos_vlans:
    config:
      - vlan_id: 20
    state: deleted

# After state:
# ------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 10
#    name ten


# Using merged

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    name twenty

- name: Merge given VLAN attributes with device configuration
  arista.eos.eos_vlans:
    config:
      - vlan_id: 20
        state: suspend
    state: merged

# After state:
# ------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    name twenty
#    state suspend


# Using overridden

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    name twenty

- name: Override device configuration of all VLANs with provided configuration
  arista.eos.eos_vlans:
    config:
      - vlan_id: 20
        state: suspend
    state: overridden

# After state:
# ------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 20
#    state suspend


# Using replaced

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    name twenty

- name: Replace all attributes of specified VLANs with provided configuration
  arista.eos.eos_vlans:
    config:
      - vlan_id: 20
        state: suspend
    state: replaced

# After state:
# ------------
#
# veos(config-vlan-20)#show running-config | section vlan
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    state suspend

# using parsed

# parsed.cfg
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    name twenty
#    state suspend

- name: Use parsed to convert native configs to structured data
  arista.eos.eos_vlans:
    running_config: "{{ lookup('file', 'parsed.cfg') }}"
    state: parsed

# Output:
# -------
#   parsed:
#     - vlan_id: 10
#       name: ten
#     - vlan_id: 20
#       state: suspend

# Using rendered:

- name: Use Rendered to convert the structured data to native config
  arista.eos.eos_vlans:
    config:
      - vlan_id: 10
        name: ten
      - vlan_id: 20
        state: suspend
    state: rendered

# Output:
# ------
# rendered:
#   - "vlan 10"
#   - "name ten"
#   - "vlan 20"
#   - "state suspend"

# Using gathered:
# native_config:
# vlan 10
#    name ten
# !
# vlan 20
#    name twenty
#    state suspend

- name: Gather vlans facts from the device
  arista.eos.eos_vlans:
    state: gathered

# Output:
# ------

# gathered:
#   - vlan_id: 10
#     name: ten
#   - vlan_id: 20
#     state: suspend
