Synopsis

• This module manages properties of Link Aggregation Group on Cisco IOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A list of link aggregation group configurations.
	members list / elements=dictionary			Interface options for the link aggregation group.
		link integer		Assign a link identifier used for load-balancing. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values. NOTE, parameter only supported on Cisco IOS XE platform.
		member string		Interface member of the link aggregation group.
		mode string	Choices: auto on desirable active passive	Etherchannel Mode of the interface for link aggregation. On mode has to be quoted as 'on' or else pyyaml will convert to True before it gets to Ansible.
	name string / required			ID of Ethernet Channel of interfaces. Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
running_config string				This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS 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 rendered parsed gathered	The state the configuration should be left in The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config | include ip route|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Notes

Note

• Tested against Cisco IOSXE Version 17.3 on CML.
• This module works with connection network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
after dictionary	when changed	The resulting configuration after module execution. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
before dictionary	when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged	The configuration prior to the module execution. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
commands list	when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['interface GigabitEthernet0/1', 'channel-group 10 mode auto', 'channel-group 10 mode active link 20']
gathered list	when state is gathered	Facts about the network resource gathered from the remote device as structured data. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
parsed list	when state is parsed	The device native config provided in running_config option parsed into structured data as per module argspec. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
rendered list	when state is rendered	The provided configuration in the task rendered in device-native format (offline). Sample: ['interface GigabitEthernet0/2', 'channel-group 20 mode auto', 'channel-group 20 mode active link 60']
