Synopsis

• This module manages Layer-3 interfaces attributes of NX-OS Interfaces.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of Layer-3 interface options
	dot1q integer			Configures IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation on a subinterface.
	evpn_multisite_tracking string added in 1.1.0		Choices: fabric-tracking dci-tracking	VxLAN evpn multisite Interface tracking. Supported only on selected model.
	ipv4 list / elements=dictionary			IPv4 address and attributes of the L3 interface.
		address string		IPV4 address of the L3 interface.
		secondary boolean	Choices: no yes	A boolean attribute to manage addition of secondary IP address.
		tag integer		URIB route tag value for local/direct routes.
	ipv6 list / elements=dictionary			IPv6 address and attributes of the L3 interface.
		address string		IPV6 address of the L3 interface.
		tag integer		URIB route tag value for local/direct routes.
	ipv6_redirects boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables/disables ipv6 redirects.
	name string / required			Full name of L3 interface, i.e. Ethernet1/1.
	redirects boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables/disables ipv4 redirects.
	unreachables boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables/disables ip redirects.
running_config string				This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config | section '^interface'. 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 is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state string			Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted gathered rendered parsed	The state of the configuration after module completion. The state overridden would override the IP address configuration of all interfaces on the device with the provided configuration in the task. Use caution with this state as you may loose access to the device.

Notes

Note

• Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
• Unsupported for Cisco MDS

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
after list	when changed	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list	always	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
commands list	always	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['interface Ethernet1/2', 'ip address 192.168.0.1/2']
