ansible / ansible.builtin / v2.9.3 / connection / napalm Provides persistent connection using NAPALM | "added in version" 2.8 of ansible.builtin" Authors: Ansible Networking Teamansible.builtin.napalm (v2.9.3) — connection
pip
Install with pip install ansible==2.9.3
This connection plugin provides connectivity to network devices using the NAPALM network device abstraction library. This library requires certain features to be enabled on network devices depending on the destination device operating system. The connection plugin requires C(napalm) to be installed locally on the Ansible controller.
host: default: inventory_hostname description: - Specifies the remote device FQDN or IP address to establish the SSH connection to. vars: - name: ansible_host port: default: 22 description: - Specifies the port on the remote device that listens for connections when establishing the SSH connection. env: - name: ANSIBLE_REMOTE_PORT ini: - key: remote_port section: defaults type: int vars: - name: ansible_port timeout: default: 120 description: - Sets the connection time, in seconds, for communicating with the remote device. This timeout is used as the default timeout value for commands when issuing a command to the network CLI. If the command does not return in timeout seconds, an error is generated. type: int password: description: - Configures the user password used to authenticate to the remote device when first establishing the SSH connection. vars: - name: ansible_password - name: ansible_ssh_pass - name: ansible_ssh_password network_os: description: - Configures the device platform network operating system. This value is used to load a napalm device abstraction. vars: - name: ansible_network_os remote_user: description: - The username used to authenticate to the remote device when the SSH connection is first established. If the remote_user is not specified, the connection will use the username of the logged in user. - Can be configured from the CLI via the C(--user) or C(-u) options. env: - name: ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER ini: - key: remote_user section: defaults vars: - name: ansible_user private_key_file: description: - The private SSH key or certificate file used to authenticate to the remote device when first establishing the SSH connection. env: - name: ANSIBLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE ini: - key: private_key_file section: defaults vars: - name: ansible_private_key_file host_key_auto_add: default: false description: - By default, Ansible will prompt the user before adding SSH keys to the known hosts file. By enabling this option, unknown host keys will automatically be added to the known hosts file. - Be sure to fully understand the security implications of enabling this option on production systems as it could create a security vulnerability. env: - name: ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_AUTO_ADD ini: - key: host_key_auto_add section: paramiko_connection type: boolean persistent_command_timeout: default: 30 description: - Configures, in seconds, the amount of time to wait for a command to return from the remote device. If this timer is exceeded before the command returns, the connection plugin will raise an exception and close. env: - name: ANSIBLE_PERSISTENT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT ini: - key: command_timeout section: persistent_connection type: int vars: - name: ansible_command_timeout persistent_connect_timeout: default: 30 description: - Configures, in seconds, the amount of time to wait when trying to initially establish a persistent connection. If this value expires before the connection to the remote device is completed, the connection will fail. env: - name: ANSIBLE_PERSISTENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT ini: - key: connect_timeout section: persistent_connection type: int vars: - name: ansible_connect_timeout
