## Synopsis

- This module provides declarative management of LACP on Cisco IOS network devices lacp_interfaces.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
config list / elements=dictionary |  | A dictionary of LACP lacp_interfaces option
| fast_switchover boolean | Choices: no yes | LACP fast switchover supported on this port channel.
| max_bundle integer |  | LACP maximum number of ports to bundle in this port channel. Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
| name string / required |  | Name of the Interface for configuring LACP.
| port_priority integer |  | LACP priority on this interface. Refer to vendor documentation for valid port values.
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.

## 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 GigabitEthernet 0/1', 'lacp port-priority 30']
