pipInstall with pip install ansible==2.7.7
Extreme NOS configurations use a simple block indent file syntax for segmenting configuration into sections. This module provides an implementation for working with NOS configuration sections in a deterministic way.
- name: configure top level configuration
nos_config:
lines: logging raslog console INFO
- name: configure interface settings
nos_config:
lines:
- description test interface
- ip address 172.31.1.1/24
parents:
- interface TenGigabitEthernet 104/0/1
- name: configure multiple interfaces
nos_config:
lines:
- lacp timeout long
parents: "{{ item }}"
with_items:
- interface TenGigabitEthernet 104/0/1
- interface TenGigabitEthernet 104/0/2
- name: load new acl into device
nos_config:
lines:
- seq 10 permit ip host 1.1.1.1 any log
- seq 20 permit ip host 2.2.2.2 any log
- seq 30 permit ip host 3.3.3.3 any log
- seq 40 permit ip host 4.4.4.4 any log
- seq 50 permit ip host 5.5.5.5 any log
parents: ip access-list extended test
before: no ip access-list extended test
match: exact
- name: check the running-config against master config
nos_config:
diff_against: intended
intended_config: "{{ lookup('file', 'master.cfg') }}"
src:
default: null
description:
- Specifies the source path to the file that contains the configuration or configuration
template to load. The path to the source file can either be the full path on the
Ansible control host or a relative path from the playbook or role root directory.
This argument is mutually exclusive with I(lines), I(parents).
after:
default: null
description:
- The ordered set of commands to append to the end of the command stack if a change
needs to be made. Just like with I(before) this allows the playbook designer to
append a set of commands to be executed after the command set.
lines:
aliases:
- commands
default: null
description:
- The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. The commands
must be the exact same commands as found in the device running-config. Be sure to
note the configuration command syntax as some commands are automatically modified
by the device config parser.
match:
choices:
- line
- strict
- exact
- none
default: line
description:
- Instructs the module on the way to perform the matching of the set of commands against
the current device config. If match is set to I(line), commands are matched line
by line. If match is set to I(strict), command lines are matched with respect to
position. If match is set to I(exact), command lines must be an equal match. Finally,
if match is set to I(none), the module will not attempt to compare the source configuration
with the running configuration on the remote device.
backup:
default: false
description:
- This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current C(running-config)
from the remote device before any changes are made. The backup file is written to
the C(backup) folder in the playbook root directory. If the directory does not exist,
it is created.
type: bool
before:
default: null
description:
- The ordered set of commands to push on to the command stack if a change needs to
be made. This allows the playbook designer the opportunity to perform configuration
commands prior to pushing any changes without affecting how the set of commands
are matched against the system.
parents:
default: null
description:
- The ordered set of parents that uniquely identify the section or hierarchy the commands
should be checked against. If the parents argument is omitted, the commands are
checked against the set of top level or global commands.
replace:
choices:
- line
- block
default: line
description:
- Instructs the module on the way to perform the configuration on the device. If the
replace argument is set to I(line) then the modified lines are pushed to the device
in configuration mode. If the replace argument is set to I(block) then the entire
command block is pushed to the device in configuration mode if any line is not correct.
diff_against:
choices:
- running
- intended
description:
- When using the C(ansible-playbook --diff) command line argument the module can generate
diffs against different sources.
- When this option is configured as I(intended), the module will return the diff of
the running-config against the configuration provided in the C(intended_config)
argument.
- When this option is configured as I(running), the module will return the before
and after diff of the running-config with respect to any changes made to the device
configuration.
running_config:
aliases:
- config
default: null
description:
- The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current
running-config to use as a base for comparing against the contents of source. There
are times when it is not desirable to have the task get the current running-config
for every task in a playbook. The I(running_config) argument allows the implementer
to pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison.
intended_config:
description:
- The C(intended_config) provides the master configuration that the node should conform
to and is used to check the final running-config against. This argument will not
modify any settings on the remote device and is strictly used to check the compliance
of the current device's configuration against. When specifying this argument, the
task should also modify the C(diff_against) value and set it to I(intended).
diff_ignore_lines:
description:
- Use this argument to specify one or more lines that should be ignored during the
diff. This is used for lines in the configuration that are automatically updated
by the system. This argument takes a list of regular expressions or exact line matches.
multiline_delimiter:
default: '@'
description:
- This argument is used when pushing a multiline configuration element to the NOS
device. It specifies the character to use as the delimiting character. This only
applies to the configuration action.
backup_path: description: The full path to the backup file returned: when backup is yes sample: /playbooks/ansible/backup/nos_config.2018-02-12@18:26:34 type: string commands: description: The set of commands that will be pushed to the remote device returned: always sample: - switch-attributes hostname foo - router ospf - area 0 type: list updates: description: The set of commands that will be pushed to the remote device returned: always sample: - switch-attributes hostname foo - router ospf - area 0 type: list
