This module allows you to reset a switch's startup configuration. The method provides a way to reset the startup configuration to its factory settings. This is helpful when you want to move the switch to another topology as a new network device. This module uses SSH to manage network device configuration. The result of the operation can be viewed in results directory.
Tasks : The following are examples of using the module cnos_reload. These are written in the main.yml file of the tasks directory. --- - name: Test Reset to factory cnos_factory: deviceType: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['deviceType'] }}" outputfile: "./results/test_factory_{{ inventory_hostname }}_output.txt"
host: description: - This is the variable used to search the hosts file at /etc/ansible/hosts and identify the IP address of the device on which the template is going to be applied.
