## Synopsis

- This module manages the attributes of LAG/Ether-Bundle interfaces on IOS-XR devices.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
config list / elements=dictionary |  | A provided Link Aggregation Group (LAG) configuration.
| links dictionary |  | This dict contains configurable options related to LAG/Ether-Bundle links.
|  | max_active integer |  | Specifies the limit on the number of links that can be active in the LAG/Ether-Bundle. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
|  | min_active integer |  | Specifies the minimum number of active links needed to bring up the LAG/Ether-Bundle. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
| load_balancing_hash string | Choices: dst-ip src-ip | Specifies the hash function used for traffic forwarded over the LAG/Ether-Bundle. Option 'dst-ip' uses the destination IP as the hash function. Option 'src-ip' uses the source IP as the hash function.
| members list / elements=dictionary |  | List of member interfaces for the LAG/Ether-Bundle.
|  | member string |  | Name of the member interface.
|  | mode string | Choices: on active passive inherit | Specifies the mode of the operation for the member interface. Mode 'active' runs LACP in active mode. Mode 'on' does not run LACP over the port. Mode 'passive' runs LACP in passive mode over the port. Mode 'inherit' runs LACP as configured in the bundle.
| mode string | Choices: on active passive | LAG mode. Mode 'active' runs LACP in active mode over the port. Mode 'on' does not run LACP over the port. Mode 'passive' runs LACP in passive mode over the port.
| name string / required |  | Name/Identifier of the LAG/Ether-Bundle to configure.
state string | Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted | The state of the configuration after module completion.

## Notes

Note

- Tested against IOS-XR 6.1.3.
- This module works with connection `network_cli`. See the IOS-XR Platform Options.

## Return Values

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

Key | Returned | Description
--- | --- | ---
after list | when changed | The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list | always | The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
commands list | always | The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['interface Bundle-Ether10', 'bundle minimum-active links 2', 'bundle load-balancing hash src-ip']

## Status
