## Synopsis

- This module manages attributes of link aggregation groups on VyOS network devices.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
config list |  | A list of link aggregation group configurations.
| arp_monitor dictionary |  | ARP Link monitoring parameters.
|  | interval integer |  | ARP link monitoring frequency in milliseconds.
|  | target list |  | IP address to use for ARP monitoring.
| hash_policy string | Choices: layer2 layer2+3 layer3+4 | LAG or bonding transmit hash policy.
| members list |  | List of member interfaces for the LAG (bond).
|  | member string |  | Name of the member interface.
| mode string | Choices: 802.3ad active-backup broadcast round-robin transmit-load-balance adaptive-load-balance xor-hash | LAG or bond mode.
| name string / required |  | Name of the link aggregation group (LAG) or bond.
| primary string |  | Primary device interfaces for the LAG (bond).
state string | Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted | The state of the configuration after module completion.

## Notes

Note

- Tested against VyOS 1.1.8 (helium).
- This module works with connection `network_cli`. See the VyOS OS Platform Options.
