Release 4.4.0¶
Deprecation warnings for Python 3.8 and ansible-core<2.14¶
-
As per https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html#ansible-core-support-matrix,
ansible-core
version 2.12 was declared End-of-Life (EOL) on May 22nd 2023 and version 2.13 will be declared EOL on November 6th 2023.AVD will drop support for
ansible-core
versions 2.12 and 2.13 in the next minor release after November 6th 2023.
- Since
ansible-core
versions above 2.14 do not support Python versions below 3.9, the support for Python 3.8 will be dropped from AVD at the same time.
- The
arista.avd.verify_requirements
module will start emitting deprecation warnings starting AVD 4.4 to warn users about these deprecations.

Release 4.0.0¶
Changes to requirements¶
- AVD now requires ansible-core from 2.12.6 to 2.14.x excluding 2.13.0
Note
Excluded version 2.13.0 has an issue in ansible-core
, which is fixed in 2.13.1. Plugin loader will now load config data for plugin by name instead of by file to avoid issues with the same file being loaded under different names (Fully-Qualified-Collection-Name + short-name).
If Ansible is installed using pip, a supported version can be installed with pip3 install "ansible-core>=2.12.6,<2.15.0,!=2.13.0"
.
- The
arista.avd
collection no longer depends directly onansible.netcommon
.ansible.netcommon
is still a depedency ofarista.eos
andarista.cvp
, which are both dependencies ofarista.avd
.
- AVD now requires the minumum versions of the following Ansible collections:
- arista.cvp version 3.6.1 or later.
- arista.eos version 6.0.1 or later.
- ansible.utils version 2.10.3 or later.
- AVD now requires
cvprac
python library to be version 1.3.1 or higher.
Data model changes from “dict-of-dicts” to “list-of-dicts”¶
In AVD 4.0.0 and across both eos_designs
and eos_cli_config_gen
, all “dict-of-dicts” data models with user-defined keys have been changed to “list-of-dicts”.
As an example ethernet_interfaces
has been changed from:
to:
ethernet_interfaces:
- name: Ethernet1: # <-- "name" here is called the "primary_key" which must have a unique value across all list elements
<...>
The old data models are still supported, but support will be removed in AVD 5.0.0.
In AVD 4.0.0, inputs will be auto-converted as part of the new built-in schema-based type conversion, but the variable files will not be changed.
See details on how to migrate to the new data models in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
All eos_designs and eos_cli_config_gen variables are validated by schemas¶
In AVD 4.0.0, all eos_designs and eos_cli_config_gen keys are validated by schemas.
If additional custom keys are desired, a key starting with an underscore _
, will be ignored.
Breaking or behavioral changes in eos_cli_config_gen¶
Breaking changes may require modifications to the inventory or playbook. See the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x for details.
Non port-channel related config is no longer ignored on port-channel member ethernet_interfaces¶
The change has been incorporated into eos_designs
so action is only required when defining new interfaces
with structured_config
, custom_structured_configuration_
or when using eos_cli_config_gen
directly.
With AVD 4.0.0 port-channel member interfaces defined under ethernet_interfaces
will no longer ignore the
type
setting which defaults to switched
. Other switchport or IP related features are also no longer ignored.
For interfaces with LACP fallback, this may be the intended behavior, and this is the reason for this change.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
Pull request:
- Feat(eos_designs, eos_cli_config_gen)! - Remove default “switchport” and remove logic from eos_cli_config_gen by @ClausHolbechArista in https://github.com/aristanetworks/ansible-avd/pull/2430
Require queue_monitor_length.enabled¶
To avoid ambiguous YAML data input, the data model for queue_monitor_length
has been updated to require the enabled
key to be set.
The change has been incorporated into eos_designs
so action is only required when defining structured_configuration
directly.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
Pull request:
- Refactor(eos_cli_config_gen)! - Require queue_monitor_length.enabled to be set by @Shivani-chourasiya in https://github.com/aristanetworks/ansible-avd/pull/2429
Disabling IGMP Snooping globally no longer blocks other IGMP snooping configuration¶
The eos_cli_config_gen
role previously blocked IGMP snooping configuration if ip_igmp_snooping.globally_enabled
was set to false
.
With AVD version 4.0.0 this changes to align closer to EOS behavior, where globally disabling IGMP snooping still allows for underlying
configuration to be present.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
Pull request:
- Feat(eos_designs)! - Remove default value from mlag_peer_link_allowed_vlans by @carlbuchmann in https://github.com/aristanetworks/ansible-avd/pull/2845
New required vlan_interfaces.[].ip_attached_host_route_export.enabled key¶
To avoid ambiguous YAML data input, the data model for vlan_interfaces.[].ip_attached_host_route_export
has been updated to require
an enabled: true
key to be added.
The change has been incorporated into eos_designs
so action is only required when defining structured_configuration
directly.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
Pull request:
- Refactor(eos_cli_config_gen)! - Require
enabled - true
undervlan_interfaces.[].ip_attached_host_route_export
by @ClausHolbechArista in https://github.com/aristanetworks/ansible-avd/pull/2773
New data model for BGP VRF address-families¶
New data models to replace the now deprecated router_bgp.vrfs[].address_families
keys have been added to eos_cli_config_gen.
The change has been incorporated into eos_designs
so no action is necessary to retain the same functionality.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x
Replacement data model for next_hop.address_family_ipv6_originate
under router_bgp.address_family_ipv4.peer_groups[]
¶
The data model to turn on ipv4 routing over ipv6 next-hops has been replaced with a new extended one, the old data model has been deprecated and will be removed in AVD version 5.0.0.
The change has been incorporated into eos_designs
so no action is necessary to retain the same functionality.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x
Improved hardware_counters.features data model¶
The hardware_counters.features
model has been improved to allow more options.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
Pull requests:
- Feat(eos_cli_config_gen)! - Change Hardware Counter model by @gmuloc in https://github.com/aristanetworks/ansible-avd/pull/2695
eos_cli_config_gen
sanitized device documentation¶
- Starting AVD 4.0.0, the
eos_cli_config_gen
role replaces sensitive values in the device documentation by the string<removed>
by default, similar to the output ofshow run sanitized
on EOS. - It is also possible to generate the intended configurations by replacing the sensitive data by
<removed>
but this is not the case by default - This behavior can be controlled using the following variables:
NOTE: The structured_config
generated by eos_designs
role cannot be sanitized.
Breaking or behavioral changes in eos_designs¶
Breaking changes may require modifications to the inventory or playbook. See the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x for details.
Custom structured configuration behavioral change¶
Related to the data model changes mentioned above, the behavior of
custom_structured_configuration_*
and structured_config
keys has also changed:
- The default list merge strategy set with
custom_structured_configuration_list_merge
is nowappend_rp
meaning “Append unique items”. Changed fromreplace
. - Unless list merge is set to
replace
, the merge of custom structured configuration will now merge list-of-dicts based on the “primary_key” set in the schema of the data model, falling back to the list merge strategy.
The custom structured configuration feature is not able to remove individual items from a list. This is not a new limitation, but since more data models are now lists, this limitation may affect the ability to remove certain elements from the generated configurations.
MLAG peer link allowed vlans no longer has a default value¶
mlag_peer_link_allowed_vlans
no longer has a default value of “2-4094”.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
IP routing is no longer configured on pure L2 devices¶
For node types like l2leaf
where underlay_router
is set to false
under node_type_keys
AVD versions below 4.0.0
still rendered ip routing
in the configuration. With AVD version 4.0.0 ip routing
is no longer configured for l2leaf
or other node types with underlay_router: false
.

BGP is no longer configured on irrelevant nodes¶
An example of an “irrelevant node” is a pure L3 Spine in L3LS running ISIS or OSPF in the underlay. As long as the spine is not
set as route-server for any overlay BGP protocol, there is no need for router bgp <asn>
to be configured on this device.

Link-local IPv6 addressing is implicitly enabled when configuring IPv6 Anycast IP¶
Per Arista best practice, all SVIs configured with ipv6 address virtual
should also have
ipv6 enable
configured, to use link-local IPv6 addresses for NDv6 operations.
With AVD version 4.0.0 this best practice is now implemented by default.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
Removed eos_designs variables¶
evpn_rd_type
has been removed and replaced withoverlay_rd_type
.evpn_rt_type

.vxlan_vlan_aware_bundles
has been removed and replaced withevpn_vlan_aware_bundles
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.

(EOS default) tolevel-2
.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
Change in defaults in BGP variables¶
bgp_default_ipv4_unicast: <bool> -> default false
was introduced to implement the best practice of disabling the default activation of IPv4 unicast address-family.bgp_update_wait_install: <bool> -> default true
was introduced to implement the best practice of enable router bgpupdate wait-install
underrouter bgp
and BGP VRF definitions for VRFs containing BGP peerings.

Changes to inband management for L2 switches¶
With AVD version 4.0.0 some of the default values for inband management are changing:
- The SVI MTU was derived from
p2p_uplinks_mtu
with a default value of9000
. Now the SVI MTU defaults to1500
and is configurable withinband_mgmt_mtu
. - The SVI description was hardcoded to
L2LEAF_INBAND_MGMT
. Now the default SVI description isInband Management
and is configurable withinband_mgmt_description
. - The VLAN name was hardcoded to
L2LEAF_INBAND_MGMT
. Now the default VLAN name isINBAND_MGMT
and is configurable withinband_mgmt_vlan_name
.
The inband management interfaces are now documented and configured as vlan_interfaces
instead of management_interfaces
.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.

Several internal switch.* facts and avd_switch_facts have been removed¶
As part of optimizing performance and code reuse, the amount of switch.*
facts has been limited.
The switch.*
and avd_switch_facts
are internal datamodels used for sharing data between various stages of eos_designs
. They should not
be used in custom templates for interface descriptions or IP addressing, since they are subject to change without notice.
See the porting guide for suggestions on how to leverage AVD logic in combination with Ansible inline Jinja2.

Other breaking or behavioral changes¶
Breaking changes may require modifications to the inventory or playbook. See the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x for details.
Roles cvp_configlet_upload
and eos_config_deploy_cvp
default to cv_collection: v3
¶
The roles arista.avd.cvp_configlet_upload
and arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_cvp
leverage modules from the arista.cvp
collection to perform actions on the CloudVision platform. These modules are currently available in v1
and v3
variants, but v1
modules
have been deprecated and will be removed from the arista.cvp
collection in version 4.0.0.
With AVD version 4.0.0 the default cv_collection
is set to v3
.
The v3
modules are mostly compatible with the v1
modules with a few known gaps:
v3
is missing support for hostnames with dots likeleaf1.dc2
.- The implementation of
v3
ineos_config_deploy_cvp
is missing support for theabsent
option.
v1
modules can still be used by setting cv_collection: v1
, as long as the arista.cvp
collection is not upgraded to 4.0.0 or above.
Pull request:
- Bump(cvp_configlet_upload,eos_config_deploy_cvp)! - Update the default
cv_collection
fromv1
tov3
by @ClausHolbechArista in https://github.com/aristanetworks/ansible-avd/pull/2882
Change upper case CVP roles and module vars to lower case¶
Potentially breaking in rare cases where custom logic relies on the registered vars or content of files. The custom scripts must be updated to use the lowercase variable instead.
Component(s) name Roles:
- arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_cvp
- arista.avd.cvp_configlet_upload
Modules:
- arista.avd.inventory_to_container
- arista.avd.configlet_build_config
The following vars are changed from uppercase to lowercase, to conform with Ansible linting requirements.
CVP_CONFIGLETS -> cvp_configlets
CVP_CONFIGLETS_STATUS -> cvp_configlets_status
CVP_CONTAINERS -> cvp_containers
CVP_CONTAINER_RESULTS -> cvp_container_results
CVP_DEVICES -> cvp_devices
CVP_DEVICES_RESULTS -> cvp_devices_results
CVP_FACTS -> cvp_facts
CVP_TOPOLOGY -> cvp_topology
CVP_VARS -> cvp_vars
Pull request:

Changes to inventory to CloudVision containers¶
In AVD 4.0.0, the role arista.avd.eos_config_deploy_cvp
gets support for dynamic Ansible inventories. This means the CloudVision containers’ basis will no longer be the inventory.yml
file. Instead, the role reads the loaded Ansible inventory. This inventory can be loaded from dynamic inventory plugins like Ansible Automation Platform, AWX, etc.
The new inventory parsing is stricter than the previous method, so all Ansible inventory groups must be laid
out as a regular tree structure starting from the container_root
.
See details in the Porting guide for AVD 4.x.x.
