Description

Nokia SR OS configurations use a simple block indent file syntax for segmenting configuration into sections. This module provides an implementation for working with SR OS configuration sections in a deterministic way.

Inputs

    
src:
    description:
    - Specifies the source path to the file that contains the configuration or configuration
      template to load.  The path to the source file can either be the full path on the
      Ansible control host or a relative path from the playbook or role root directory.  This
      argument is mutually exclusive with I(lines), I(parents).

save:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - The C(save) argument instructs the module to save the running- config to the startup-config
      at the conclusion of the module running.  If check mode is specified, this argument
      is ignored.
    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.

force:
    description:
    - The force argument instructs the module to not consider the current devices running-config.  When
      set to true, this will cause the module to push the contents of I(src) into the
      device without first checking if already configured.
    - Note this argument should be considered deprecated.  To achieve the equivalent,
      set the C(match=none) which is idempotent.  This argument will be removed in a future
      release.
    type: bool

lines:
    aliases:
    - commands
    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 running-config.  Be sure
      to note the configuration command syntax as some commands are automatically modified
      by the device config parser.  The I(lines) argument only supports current context
      lines.  See EXAMPLES

match:
    choices:
    - line
    - 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(none), the module will not attempt to compare the
      source configuration with the running configuration on the remote device.

backup:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current C(running-config)
      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 C(config) argument allows the playbook designer to supply the base configuration
      to be used to validate configuration changes necessary.  If this argument is provided,
      the module will not download the running-config from the remote node.

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:
    aliases:
    - detail
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - This argument specifies whether or not to collect all defaults when getting the
      remote device running config.  When enabled, the module will get the current config
      by issuing the command C(admin display-config detail).
    type: bool

provider:
    description:
    - A dict object containing connection details.
    suboptions:
      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.
        required: true
        type: str
      password:
        description:
        - Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device.   This
          value is used to authenticate the SSH session. 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: 22
        description:
        - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
        type: int
      ssh_keyfile:
        description:
        - Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device.   This
          value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. 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:
        default: 10
        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
      username:
        description:
        - Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote
          device.  This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is
          not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME)
          will be used instead.
        type: str
    type: dict

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
