Synopsis 

Manage multi chassis link aggregation groups domain (MCLAG) and its parameters.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config dictionary	Dict of mclag domain configurations.
delay_restore integer	MCLAG delay restore time in secs.
domain_id integer / required	ID of the mclag domain (MCLAG domain).
gateway_mac string	Gateway MAC address for router ports over MCLAG. Configured gateway MAC address can be modified only when state=replaced or state=overridden.
keepalive integer	MCLAG session keepalive-interval in secs.
members dictionary	Holds portchannels dictionary for an MCLAG domain.
portchannels list / elements=dictionary	Holds a list of portchannels for configuring as an MCLAG interface.
lag string	Holds a PortChannel ID.
peer_address string	The IPV4 peer-ip for corresponding MCLAG.
peer_gateway dictionary	Holds Vlan dictionary for MCLAG peer gateway.
vlans list / elements=dictionary	Holds a list of VLANs and VLAN ranges for which MCLAG peer gateway functionality is enabled.
vlan string	Holds a VLAN name or VLAN range. Specify a single VLAN eg. Vlan10. Specify a range of VLANs eg. Vlan10-20.
peer_link string	Peer-link for corresponding MCLAG.
session_timeout integer	MCLAG session timeout value in secs.
session_vrf string added in dellemc.enterprise_sonic 2.5.0	MCLAG session VRF. Session VRF value can be either mgmt or a non-default VRF.
source_address string	The IPV4 source-ip for corresponding MCLAG.
system_mac string	MAC address of MCLAG.
unique_ip dictionary	Holds Vlan dictionary for MCLAG unique IP.
vlans list / elements=dictionary	Holds a list of VLANs and VLAN ranges for which a separate IP address is enabled for Layer 3 protocol support over MCLAG.
vlan string	Holds a VLAN name or VLAN range. Specify a single VLAN eg. Vlan10. Specify a range of VLANs eg. Vlan10-20.
state string	The state that the configuration should be left in. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"deleted"` `"replaced"` `"overridden"`
