This module provides declarative management of node system attributes on Arista EOS devices. It provides an option to configure host system parameters or remove those parameters from the device active configuration.
- name: configure hostname and domain-name eos_system: hostname: eos01 domain_name: test.example.com
- name: remove configuration eos_system: state: absent
- name: configure DNS lookup sources eos_system: lookup_source: Management1
- name: configure DNS lookup sources with VRF support eos_system: lookup_source: - interface: Management1 vrf: mgmt - interface: Ethernet1 vrf: myvrf
- name: configure name servers eos_system: name_servers: - 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4
- name: configure name servers with VRF support eos_system: name_servers: - { server: 8.8.8.8, vrf: mgmt } - { server: 8.8.4.4, vrf: mgmt }
state: choices: - present - absent default: present description: - State of the configuration values in the device's current active configuration. When set to I(present), the values should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to I(absent) the values should not be in the device active configuration hostname: description: - Configure the device hostname parameter. This option takes an ASCII string value. provider: description: - B(Deprecated) - 'Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli).' - 'Starting with Ansible 2.6 we recommend using C(connection: httpapi) for eAPI.' - This option will be removed in a release after 2022-06-01. - For more information please see the L(EOS Platform Options guide, ../network/user_guide/platform_eos.html). - HORIZONTALLINE - A dict object containing connection details. suboptions: auth_pass: description: - Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If I(authorize) is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS) will be used instead. type: str authorize: default: false description: - Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE) will be used instead. type: bool host: description: - Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport. type: str password: description: - Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either I(cli) or I(eapi) transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will be used instead. type: str port: default: 0 description: - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either I(cli) or I(eapi). - The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task (cli=22, http=80, https=443). type: int ssh_keyfile: description: - Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for I(cli) transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE) will be used instead. type: path timeout: description: - Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. type: int transport: choices: - cli - eapi default: cli description: - Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. type: str use_proxy: default: true description: - If C(no), the environment variables C(http_proxy) and C(https_proxy) will be ignored. type: bool use_ssl: default: true description: - Configures the I(transport) to use SSL if set to C(yes) only when the C(transport=eapi). If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. type: bool username: description: - Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the eAPI authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME) will be used instead. type: str validate_certs: default: true description: - If C(no), SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. type: bool type: dict domain_name: description: - Configure the IP domain name on the remote device to the provided value. Value should be in the dotted name form and will be appended to the C(hostname) to create a fully-qualified domain name. name_servers: description: - List of DNS name servers by IP address to use to perform name resolution lookups. This argument accepts either a list of DNS servers or a list of hashes that configure the name server and VRF name. See examples. domain_search: aliases: - domain_list description: - Provides the list of domain suffixes to append to the hostname for the purpose of doing name resolution. This argument accepts a list of names and will be reconciled with the current active configuration on the running node. lookup_source: description: - Provides one or more source interfaces to use for performing DNS lookups. The interface provided in C(lookup_source) can only exist in a single VRF. This argument accepts either a list of interface names or a list of hashes that configure the interface name and VRF name. See examples.
