Vrrp

Module for working with EOS VRRP resources

The Vrrp resource provides configuration management of interface specific vrrp resources on and EOS node. It provides the following class implementations:

  • Vrrp - Configure vrrps in EOS

Vrrp Attributes:

  • enable (boolean): The shutdown state of the vrrp

  • primary_ip (string): The ip address of the vrrp

  • secondary_ip (dict): The secondary ip addresses configured for the vrrp

    This is a dictionary in the format:

    { key: [ list of ip addresses ] }

    where key is ‘add’, ‘remove’, or ‘exists’. ‘add’ is used to add the list of secondary ip addresses to the vrrp. ‘remove’ will remove the list of secondary ip addresses from the vrrp. ‘exists’ is a report only key for retrieving the current secondary ip addresses on a vrrp.

  • priority (int): The priority rank of the vrrp

  • description (string): The description for the vrrp

  • ip_version (int): The ip version value for the vrrp

  • timers_advertise (int): The timers advertise setting for the vrrp

  • mac_addr_adv_interval (int): The mac-address advertisement-interval

    setting for the vrrp

  • preempt (boolean): The preempt state of the vrrp

  • preempt_delay_min (int): The preempt delay minimum setting for the vrrp

  • preempt_delay_reload (int): The preempt delay reload setting for the vrrp

  • delay_reload (int): The delay reload setting for the vrrp

  • track (list): The object tracking settings for the vrrp

  • bfd_ip (string): The bfd ip set for the vrrp

Notes

The get method will return a dictionary of all the currently configured vrrps on a single interface, with the VRID of each vrrp as the keys in the dictionary:

{
    vrrp1: { data },
    vrrp2: { data },
}

The getall method will return a dictionary of all the currently configured vrrps on the node, with the interface name as the top-level keys, with the VRIDs for each vrrp on an interface as a sub-key of that interface:

{
    interface1: {
        vrrp1: { data },
        vrrp2: { data },
    },
    interface2: {
        vrrp1: { data },
        vrrp2: { data },
    }
}

The data for a configured vrrp is a dictionary with the following format:

{
    enable: <True|False>
    primary_ip: <string>
    priority: <int>
    description: <string|None>
    secondary_ip: {
        exists: [ <ip string1>, <ip string2> ]
        }
    ip_version: <int>
    timers_advertise: <int>
    mac_addr_adv_interval: <int>
    preempt: <True|False>
    preempt_delay_min: <int>
    preempt_delay_reload: <int>
    delay_reload: <int>
    track: [
        {
            name: <string>
            action: <shutdown|decrement>
            amount: <int>|default|no|None
        },
        {
            name: <string>
            action: <shutdown|decrement>
            amount: <int>|default|no|None
        },
    ]
    bfd_ip: <string>
}

The create and method accepts a kwargs dictionary which defines the properties to be applied to the new or existing vrrp configuration. The available keywords and values are as follows:

  • enable: True to enable (no shutdown)|False to disable (shutdown)

  • primary_ip: <ip_string>|no|default|None

  • priority: <int>|no|default|None

  • description: <string>|no|default|None

  • secondary_ip: <dict> may include the following

    • add: <list of ip address strings>

    • remove: <list of ip address strings>

  • ip_version: <int>|no|default|None

  • timers_advertise: <int>|no|default|None

  • mac_addr_adv_interval: <int>|no|default|None

  • preempt: True to enable (preempt)|False to disable (no preempt)

  • preempt_delay_min: <int>|no|default|None

  • preempt_delay_reload: <int>|no|default|None

  • delay_reload: <int>|no|default|None

  • track: <list> of dicts in the following format:

    action: <shutdown|decrement>
    amount: <int>|default|no|None
}

  • bfd_ip: <ip string>|no|default|None

The Vrrp class is derived from EntityCollection and provides an API for working with the node’s vrrp configurations.

create(interface, vrid, **kwargs)[source]

Creates a vrrp instance from an interface

Note

This method will attempt to create a vrrp in the node’s operational config. If the vrrp already exists on the interface, then this method will set the properties of the existing vrrp to those that have been passed in, if possible.

Parameters
