Installation and packages ¶

lldpd__enabled¶

Enable or disable installation and management of LLDP service.

lldpd__enabled: True

lldpd__base_packages¶

List of the APT packages required for LLDP service.

lldpd__base_packages: [ 'lldpd' ]

lldpd__packages¶

List of additional APT packages installed with LLDP service.

lldpd__packages: []

lldpd__version¶

Variable which holds the lldpd version information gathered via local facts. It can be used in conditional configuration.

lldpd__version: '{{ ansible_local.lldpd.version | d("0.0.0") }}'

List of default daemon arguments to pass to the process during startup, they will be separated by spaces. See the lldpd(8) manual page for details. Common arguments include -c (CDP), -s (SONMP) and -e (EDP) protocol support. If the list is empty, the defaults will not be modified.

lldpd__default_daemon_arguments:

  # Enable support for SNMP subagent when the 'debops.snmpd' role is detected
  # on the host
  - '{{ "-x" if (ansible_local.snmpd.installed|d())|bool else [] }}'

lldpd__daemon_arguments¶

List of daemon arguments to pass to the process during startup, they will be separated by spaces. See the lldpd(8) manual page for details. Common arguments include -c (CDP), -s (SONMP) and -e (EDP) protocol support. If the list is empty, the defaults will not be modified.

LLDP service configuration ¶

The lists below define the contents of the /etc/lldpd.d/ directory and configuration files inside. See lldpd__configuration for more details.

lldpd__default_configuration¶

List of the default configuration files defined by the role.

lldpd__default_configuration:

  # Overload the 'ChassisID' attribute to show that a given host is a virtual
  # and not a physical one. It should have been the 'Platform' attribute, but
  # the "lldpd" daemon does not support advertising it using LLDP, only CDP.
  - name: 'chassisid'
    comment: |
      Override the default ChassisID value in virtual machines and containers
      to disthinguish them from physical hosts. The value needs to be unique
      across all neighbors, otherwise LLDP information is mangled.
