SUMMARY

Support Spanning-Tree configuration for VLAN

• Enable / Disable Spanning-Tree for a VLAN
• Set Spanning-Tree Priority for a VLAN

Other switch global Spanning-Tree options supported by Cisco IOS (e.g. forward-time, hello-time, max-age, root primary/secondary diameter) are not in scope.
Also interface-related Spanning-Tree configurations are out of scope for this request.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Our customer, a major automotive manufacturer in Germany, requires the Cisco IOS collection to support switch global Spanning-Tree configurations for VLANs.
As far as I can see, this functionality is not supported in the collection as no such resource module exists.

I assume that this would require the implementation of a new spanning tree resource module.

We (Cisco on behalf of the customer) would like to know, if the development team agrees to the need and feels comfortable in developing such a module. In this case, could you please share your view on if and when this development might happen ?
Alternatively, we (Cisco on behalf of the customer) could support by developing the module and sourcing it as a PR to the Ansible Cisco IOS collection maintainers.
So my intention here is to align on the approach.

Best regards
