+description:
+  - This module provides declarative management of Layer-2 interface

+      - List of Layer-2 interface definitions.
+  mode:
+    description:
+      - Mode in which interface needs to be configured.
+    choices: ['access', 'trunk']
+  access_vlan:
+    description:
+      - Configure given VLAN in access port. The value of C(access_vlan) should
+        be vlan name.
+  trunk_vlans:
+    description:
+      - List of VLAN names to be configured in trunk port. The value of C(trunk_vlans) should
+        be list of vlan names.
+  native_vlan:
+    description:
+      - Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. The value of C(native_vlan)
+        should be vlan id.
+  unit:
+    description:
+      - Logical interface number. Value of C(unit) should be of type
+        integer.
+    default: 0
+  state:
+    description:
+      - State of the Layer-2 Interface configuration.
+    default: present

+      - Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
+    default: True
+    choices: [True, False]
+requirements:
+  - ncclient (>=v0.5.2)
+notes:
+  - This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on
+    the remote device being managed.
+  - Tested against vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
