cisco.ios.ios_acl_interfaces

Resource module to configure ACL interfaces.

Version added: 1.0.0

Synopsis

• This module configures and manages the access-control (ACL) attributes of interfaces on IOS platforms.

Parameters

Parameter				Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary					A dictionary of ACL interfaces options
	access_groups list / elements=dictionary				Specify access-group for IP access list (standard or extended).
		acls list / elements=dictionary			Specifies the ACLs for the provided AFI.
			direction string / required	Choices: in out	Specifies the direction of packets that the ACL will be applied on. With one direction already assigned, other acl direction cannot be same.
			name string / required		Specifies the name of the IPv4/IPv4 ACL for the interface.
		afi string / required		Choices: ipv4 ipv6	Specifies the AFI for the ACLs to be configured on this interface.
	name string / required				Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. GigabitEthernet0/1.
running_config string					The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current running-config to use as a base for comparing against the contents of source. There are times when it is not desirable to have the task get the current running-config for every task in a playbook. The running_config argument allows the implementer to pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison. This value of this option should be the output received from device by executing command.
state string				Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted gathered parsed rendered	The state the configuration should be left in The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config | include ^interface|ip access-group|ipv6 traffic-filter executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Notes

Note

- Tested against Cisco IOSXE Version 17.3 on CML. - This module works with connection network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
after dictionary	when changed	The resulting configuration after module execution. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
before dictionary	when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged	The configuration prior to the module execution. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
commands list	when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['interface GigabitEthernet0/1', 'no ip access-group 123 out', 'no ipv6 traffic-filter test_v6 out']
gathered list	when state is gathered	Facts about the network resource gathered from the remote device as structured data. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
parsed list	when state is parsed	The device native config provided in running_config option parsed into structured data as per module argspec. Sample: This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.
rendered list	when state is rendered	The provided configuration in the task rendered in device-native format (offline). Sample: ['interface GigabitEthernet0/1', 'no ip access-group 123 out', 'no ipv6 traffic-filter test_v6 out']
