This module allows you to restart the switch using the current startup configuration. The module is usually invoked after the running configuration has been saved over the startup configuration. This module uses SSH to manage network device configuration. The results 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 Reload cnos_reload: deviceType: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['deviceType'] }}" outputfile: "./results/test_reload_{{ 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.
