Hi,

Need clarification on

Below is the configuration available in switch:

- name: Ethernet28

access:

vlan: 11

trunk:

- vlan: 12

- vlan: 13

Delete all allowed VLANs NOT access VLAN:

- name: “Delete all allowed VLANs NOT access VLAN”

sonic\_l2\_interfaces:

config:

- name: Ethernet28

trunk:

state: deleted

**Inside the module,**

but **expected want variable** data inside the module coming as below:

- name: Ethernet28

trunk: null

**but _actual_ want variable data inside the module coming as below: because both the values are coming as null, in module there is no way to differentiate whats the user input that needs to be deleted?**

- name: Ethernet28

access: null

trunk: null

is this a bug or as per design?

These default values are added at [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.9/lib/ansible/module\_utils/basic.py#L1837](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.9/lib/ansible/module_utils/basic.py#L1837)

if this is by design, how to delete only access or trunk VLANs?

Thanks
