      provider: "{{ cli }}"

  - name: "Config mtu on 40GE1/0/22 (routed interface)"
    ce_mtu:
      interface: 40GE1/0/22
      mtu: 1600
      provider: "{{ cli }}"

  - name: "Config mtu on 40GE1/0/23 (switched interface)"
    ce_mtu:
      interface: 40GE1/0/22
      mtu: 9216
      provider: "{{ cli }}"

  - name: "Config mtu and jumboframe on 40GE1/0/22 (routed interface)"
    ce_mtu:
      interface: 40GE1/0/22
      mtu: 1601
      jumbo_max: 9001
      jumbo_min: 8001
      provider: "{{ cli }}"

  - name: "Unconfigure mtu and jumboframe on a given 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 mtu/sysmtu values after module execution
always dict {'jumbo_max': '9000', 'jumbo_min': '8000', 'mtu': '1700'}
existing
k/v pairs of existing mtu/sysmtu on the interface/system
always dict {'jumbo_max': '9216', 'jumbo_min': '1518', 'mtu': '1600'}
proposed
k/v pairs of parameters passed into module
always dict {'jumbo_max': '9000', 'jumbo_min': '8000', 'mtu': '1700'}
updates
command sent to the device
always list ['interface 40GE1/0/23', 'mtu 1700', 'jumboframe enable 9000 8000']

Notes

Note

  • Either sysmtu param is required or interface AND mtu params are req’d.
  • state=absent unconfigures a given MTU if that value is currently present.

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
