## Synopsis

- Manages ARP attributes of VXLAN on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
arp_collect_host - | Choices: enable disable | Enables EVN BGP or BGP EVPN to collect host information.
arp_suppress - | Choices: enable disable | Enables ARP broadcast suppression in a BD.
bridge_domain_id - |  | Specifies a BD(bridge domain) ID. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 16777215.
evn_bgp - | Choices: enable disable | Enables EVN BGP.
evn_peer_ip - |  | Specifies the IP address of an EVN BGP peer. The value is in dotted decimal notation.
evn_reflect_client - | Choices: enable disable | Configures the local device as the route reflector (RR) and its peer as the client.
evn_server - | Choices: enable disable | Configures the local device as the router reflector (RR) on the EVN network.
evn_source_ip - |  | Specifies the source address of an EVN BGP peer. The value is in dotted decimal notation.
host_collect_protocol - | Choices: bgp none | Enables EVN BGP or BGP EVPN to advertise host information.
state - | Choices: present ← absent | Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
vbdif_name - |  | Full name of VBDIF interface, i.e. Vbdif100.

## Notes

Note

- Recommended connection is `network_cli`.
- This module also works with `local` connections for legacy playbooks.
