## Synopsis

- This module manages the interface attributes on VyOS network devices.
- This module supports managing base attributes of Ethernet, Bonding, VXLAN, Loopback and Virtual Tunnel Interfaces.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
config list |  | The provided interfaces configuration.
| description string |  | Interface description.
| duplex string | Choices: full half auto | Interface duplex mode. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
| enabled boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Administrative state of the interface. Set the value to `true` to administratively enable the interface or `false` to disable it.
| mtu integer |  | MTU for a specific interface. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values. Applicable for Ethernet, Bonding, VXLAN and Virtual Tunnel interfaces.
| name string / required |  | Full name of the interface, e.g. eth0, eth1, bond0, vti1, vxlan2.
| speed string | Choices: auto 10 100 1000 2500 10000 | Interface link speed. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
| vifs list |  | Virtual sub-interfaces related configuration. 802.1Q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS.
|  | description string |  | Virtual sub-interface description.
|  | enabled boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Administrative state of the virtual sub-interface. Set the value to `true` to administratively enable the interface or `false` to disable it.
|  | mtu integer |  | MTU for the virtual sub-interface. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
|  | vlan_id integer |  | Identifier for the virtual sub-interface.
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.
