vyos_interfaces – Manages interface attributes of VyOS network devices¶
New in version 2.9.
Synopsis¶
This module manages the interface attributes on VyOS network devices.
This module supports managing base attributes of Ethernet, Bonding, VXLAN, Loopback and Virtual Tunnel Interfaces.
Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
config
list
|
The provided interfaces configuration.
|
|||
description
string
|
Interface description.
|
|||
duplex
string
|
|
Interface duplex mode.
Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
|
||
enabled
boolean
|
|
Administrative state of the interface.
Set the value to
true to administratively enable the interface or false to disable it. |
||
mtu
integer
|
MTU for a specific interface. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
Applicable for Ethernet, Bonding, VXLAN and Virtual Tunnel interfaces.
|
|||
name
string
/ required
|
Full name of the interface, e.g. eth0, eth1, bond0, vti1, vxlan2.
|
|||
speed
string
|
|
Interface link speed.
Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
|
||
vifs
list
|
Virtual sub-interfaces related configuration.
802.1Q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS.
|
|||
description
string
|
Virtual sub-interface description.
|
|||
enabled
boolean
|
|
Administrative state of the virtual sub-interface.
Set the value to
true to administratively enable the interface or false to disable it. |
||
mtu
integer
|
MTU for the virtual sub-interface.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
|
|||
vlan_id
integer
|
Identifier for the virtual sub-interface.
|
|||
state
string
|
|
The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes¶
Note
Tested against VyOS 1.1.8 (helium).
This module works with connection
network_cli
. See the VyOS OS Platform Options.
