Note

This plugin is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 21.12.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.ontap.

To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp.ontap.na_ontap_interface.

New in version 2.6.0: of netapp.ontap

Synopsis

  • Creating / deleting and modifying the LIF.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Ansible 2.9
  • Python3 netapp-lib (2018.11.13) or later. Install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’
  • netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues.
  • A physical or virtual clustered Data ONTAP system. The modules support Data ONTAP 9.1 and onward.
  • REST support requires ONTAP 9.6 or later.
  • To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’

string
Specifies the firewall policy for the LIF.
force_subnet_association
boolean
added in 2.9.0 of netapp.ontap
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Set this to true to acquire the address from the named subnet and assign the subnet to the LIF.
from_name
string
added in 21.11.0 of netapp.ontap
name of the interface to be renamed
home_node
string
Specifies the LIF's home node.
By default, the first node from the cluster is considered as home node
home_port
string
Specifies the LIF's home port.
Required when state=present
hostname
string / required
The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.
http_port
integer
Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port
https
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable and disable https.
Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.
Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.
interface_name
string / required
Specifies the logical interface (LIF) name.
is_auto_revert

    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies if DNS update is enabled for this LIF. Dynamic updates will be sent for this LIF if updates are enabled at Vserver level.
is_ipv4_link_local
boolean
added in 20.1.0 of netapp.ontap
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies the LIF's are to acquire a ipv4 link local address.
Use case for this is when creating Cluster LIFs to allow for auto assignment of ipv4 link local address.
key_filepath
string
added in 20.6.0 of netapp.ontap
path to SSL client key file.
listen_for_dns_query
boolean
added in 2.9.0 of netapp.ontap

Required when state=present and is_ipv4_link_local if false and subnet_name is not set.
ontapi
integer
The ontap api version to use
password
string
Password for the specified user.

aliases: pass
protocols
list / elements=string
Specifies the list of data protocols configured on the LIF. By default, the values in this element are nfs, cifs and fcache.
Other supported protocols are iscsi and fcp. A LIF can be configured to not support any data protocols by specifying 'none'.
Protocol values of none, iscsi, fc-nvme or fcp can't be combined with any other data protocol(s).
address, netmask and firewall_policy parameters are not supported for 'fc-nvme' option.
role
string
Specifies the role of the LIF.
When setting role as "intercluster" or "cluster", setting protocol is not supported.
When creating a "cluster" role, the node name will appear as the prefix in the name of LIF.
For example, if the specified name is clif and node name is node1, the LIF name appears in the ONTAP as node1_clif.
Possible values are 'undef', 'cluster', 'data', 'node-mgmt', 'intercluster', 'cluster-mgmt'.
Required when state=present unless service_policy is present and ONTAP version is 9.8 or better.
service_policy
string
added in 20.4.0 of netapp.ontap
Starting with ONTAP 9.5, you can configure LIF service policies to identify a single service or a list of services that will use a LIF.
In ONTAP 9.5, you can assign service policies only for LIFs in the admin SVM.
In ONTAP 9.6, you can additionally assign service policies for LIFs in the data SVMs.
When you specify a service policy for a LIF, you need not specify the data protocol and role for the LIF.
NOTE that role is still required because of a ZAPI issue. This limitation is removed in ONTAP 9.8.
Creating LIFs by specifying the role and data protocols is also supported.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent
Whether the specified interface should exist or not.
subnet_name
string
added in 2.8.0 of netapp.ontap
Subnet where the interface address is allocated from.
If the option is not used, the IP address will need to be provided by the administrator during configuration.
use_rest
string
Default:
"auto"
REST API if supported by the target system for all the resources and attributes the module requires. Otherwise will revert to ZAPI.
always -- will always use the REST API
never -- will always use the ZAPI
auto -- will try to use the REST Api
username
string
This can be a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped account, depending on whether a Cluster-level or SVM-level API is required.
For more information, please read the documentation https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/.
Two authentication methods are supported
1. basic authentication, using username and password,
2. SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file.
To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled.

aliases: user
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
If set to no, the SSL certificates will not be validated.
This should only set to False used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
vserver
string / required
The name of the vserver to use.
