Description

Huawei CloudEngine configurations use a simple block indent file syntax for segmenting configuration into sections. This module provides an implementation for working with CloudEngine configuration sections in a deterministic way. This module works with CLI transports.

Usage examples

Inputs

    
src:
    description:
    - The I(src) argument provides a path to the configuration file to load into the remote
      system.  The path can either be a full system path to the configuration file if
      the value starts with / or relative to the root of the implemented role or playbook.
      This argument is mutually exclusive with the I(lines) and I(parents) arguments.

save:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - The C(save) argument instructs the module to save the current-configuration to saved-configuration.  This
      operation is performed after any changes are made to the current running config.  If
      no changes are made, the configuration is still saved to the startup config.  This
      option will always cause the module to return changed.
    type: bool

after:
    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:
    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 current-configuration.  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 current-configuration on the remote device.

backup:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current C(current-configuration)
      from the remote device before any changes are made. If the C(backup_options) value
      is not given, 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:
    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.

config:
    description:
    - The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current
      current-configuration 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-configuration
      for every task in a playbook.  The I(config) argument allows the implementer to
      pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison.

parents:
    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.

defaults:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - The I(defaults) argument will influence how the current-configuration is collected
      from the device.  When the value is set to true, the command used to collect the
      current-configuration is append with the all keyword.  When the value is set to
      false, the command is issued without the all keyword.
    type: bool

backup_options:
    description:
    - This is a dict object containing configurable options related to backup file path.
      The value of this option is read only when C(backup) is set to I(yes), if C(backup)
      is set to I(no) this option will be silently ignored.
    suboptions:
      dir_path:
        description:
        - This option provides the path ending with directory name in which the backup
          configuration file will be stored. If the directory does not exist it will be
          first created and the filename is either the value of C(filename) or default
          filename as described in C(filename) options description. If the path value
          is not given in that case a I(backup) directory will be created in the current
          working directory and backup configuration will be copied in C(filename) within
          I(backup) directory.
        type: path
      filename:
        description:
        - The filename to be used to store the backup configuration. If the filename is
          not given it will be generated based on the hostname, current time and date
          in format defined by <hostname>_config.<current-date>@<current-time>
    type: dict
