      username: "{{ username }}"
      password: "{{ password }}"
      transport: cli

  tasks:
  - name: Ensure an interface is a Layer 3 port and that it has the proper description

    ce_interface:
      interface_type: tunnel
      state: absent
      provider: '{{ cli }}'

  - name: Remove all logical interfaces
    ce_interface:
      interface_type: '{{ item }}'
      state: absent
      provider: '{{ cli }}'
    with_items:
      - loopback
      - eth-trunk
      - nve

  - name: Admin up all 10GE interfaces
    ce_interface:

Return Values

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

name description returned type sample
changed
check to see if a change was made on the device
 always boolean True
end_state
k/v pairs of switchport after module execution
 always dict {'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'admin_state': 'down', 'description': 'None', 'mode': 'layer2'}
existing
k/v pairs of existing switchport
 always dict {'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'admin_state': 'up', 'description': 'None', 'mode': 'layer2'}
proposed
k/v pairs of parameters passed into module
 always dict {'interface': '10GE1/0/10', 'admin_state': 'down'}
updates
command list sent to the device
 always list ['interface 10GE1/0/10', 'shutdown']
