Synopsis

This module manages link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Cisco IOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of LLDP options
	med_tlv_select dictionary			Selection of LLDP MED TLVs to send NOTE, if med-tlv-select is configured idempotency won't be maintained as Cisco device doesn't record configured med-tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective med-tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply med-tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
		inventory_management boolean	Choices: no yes	LLDP MED Inventory Management TLV
	name string / required			Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.
	receive boolean		Choices: no yes	Enable LLDP reception on interface.
	tlv_select dictionary			Selection of LLDP type-length-value i.e. TLVs to send NOTE, if tlv-select is configured idempotency won't be maintained as Cisco device doesn't record configured tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
		power_management boolean	Choices: no yes	IEEE 802.3 DTE Power via MDI TLV
	transmit boolean		Choices: no yes	Enable LLDP transmission on interface.
state string			Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes

Note

Tested against Cisco IOSv Version 15.2 on VIRL
This module works with connection network_cli, See IOS Platform Options.
