## Synopsis

- Configuring Centralized All-Active Gateways or Distributed Gateway for the VXLAN Network on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
arp_direct_route - | Choices: enable disable | Enable VLINK direct route on VBDIF interface.
arp_distribute_gateway - | Choices: enable disable | Enable the distributed gateway function on VBDIF interface.
dfs_all_active - | Choices: enable disable | Creates all-active gateways.
dfs_id - |  | Specifies the ID of a DFS group. The value must be 1.
dfs_peer_ip - |  | Configure the IP address of an all-active gateway peer. The value is in dotted decimal notation.
dfs_peer_vpn - |  | Specifies the name of the VPN instance that is associated with all-active gateway peer. The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string. The value `_public_` is reserved and cannot be used as the VPN instance name.
dfs_source_ip - |  | Specifies the IPv4 address bound to a DFS group. The value is in dotted decimal notation.
dfs_source_vpn - |  | Specifies the name of a VPN instance bound to a DFS group. The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters without spaces. If the character string is quoted by double quotation marks, the character string can contain spaces. The value `_public_` is reserved and cannot be used as the VPN instance name.
dfs_udp_port - |  | Specifies the UDP port number of the DFS group. The value is an integer that ranges from 1025 to 65535.
state - | Choices: present ← absent | Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
vbdif_bind_vpn - |  | Specifies the name of the VPN instance that is associated with the interface. The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string. The value `_public_` is reserved and cannot be used as the VPN instance name.
vbdif_mac - |  | Specifies a MAC address for a VBDIF interface. The value is in the format of H-H-H. Each H is a 4-digit hexadecimal number, such as `00e0` or `fc01`. If an H contains less than four digits, 0s are added ahead. For example, `e0` is equal to `00e0`. A MAC address cannot be all 0s or 1s or a multicast MAC address.
vbdif_name - |  | Full name of VBDIF interface, i.e. Vbdif100.
vpn_instance - |  | Specifies the name of a VPN instance. The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string. The value `_public_` is reserved and cannot be used as the VPN instance name.
vpn_vni - |  | Specifies a VNI ID. Binds a VXLAN network identifier (VNI) to a virtual private network (VPN) instance. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 16000000.

## Notes

Note

- Ensure All-Active Gateways or Distributed Gateway for the VXLAN Network can not configure at the same time.
- Recommended connection is `network_cli`.
- This module also works with `local` connections for legacy playbooks.

## Examples

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

      tasks:

      - name: Configuring Centralized All-Active Gateways for the VXLAN Network

          arp_direct_route: enable
          provider: "{{ cli }}"
      - name: Assign a VNI to a VPN instance.
        ce_vxlan_gateway:
          vpn_instance: vpn1
