Add ability to specify VLAN ranges

[v0tti]

SUMMARY

I would like to configure VLAN ranges for trunk interfaces. Currently it is only possible to add VLANs in a list, bur this can be quite cumbersome if many (or all) VLANs are needed on an interface.

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

• sonic_l2_interfaces
• sonic_mclag
• sonic_vlans

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Instead of:

sonic_l2_interfaces:
  - name: PortChannel1
    trunk:
      allowed_vlans:
        - vlan: 101
        - vlan: 103
        - vlan: 104
        - vlan: 105
        - ...
        - vlan: 200

I would like the option to configure it somehow like this:

sonic_l2_interfaces:
  - name: PortChannel1
    trunk:
      allowed_vlans:
        - vlan_range: 100-200

We agree that this functionality would be useful and are adding it to our roadmap for implementation.

[kerry-meyer]

We have added the ability to configure VLAN ranges for trunk interfaces with the merging of "#149" (playbook support for vlan trunk ranges) to our "main" branch.

This functionality will be included in the upcoming 2.1.0 release of the Dell Ansible Enterprise SONiC resource module collection.
