collections:
- name: extreme.exos
version: 0.1.1Extreme EXOS configurations use a simple flat text file syntax. This module provides an implementation for working with EXOS configuration lines in a deterministic way.
- name: configure SNMP system name
exos_config:
lines: configure snmp sysName "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
- name: configure interface settings
exos_config:
lines:
- configure ports 2 description-string "Master Uplink"
backup: yes
- name: check the running-config against master config
exos_config:
diff_against: intended
intended_config: "{{ lookup('file', 'master.cfg') }}"
- name: check the startup-config against the running-config
exos_config:

exos_config:
lines:

backup: yes
backup_options:
filename: backup.cfg
dir_path: /home/user
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).
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:
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.
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 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.
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:
- 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(show running-config all).
type: bool
save_when:
choices:
- always
- never
- modified
- changed
default: never
description:
- When changes are made to the device running-configuration, the changes are not copied
to non-volatile storage by default. Using this argument will change that behavior. If
the argument is set to I(always), then the running-config will always be copied
to the startup-config and the I(modified) flag will always be set to True. If the
argument is set to I(modified), then the running-config will only be copied to the
startup-config if it has changed since the last save to startup-config. If the
argument is set to I(never), the running-config will never be copied to the startup-config. If
the argument is set to I(changed), then the running-config will only be copied to
the startup-config if the task has made a change.
diff_against:
choices:
- running
- startup
- intended
default: running
description:
- When using the C(ansible-playbook --diff) command line argument the module can generate
diffs against different sources.
- When this option is configure as I(startup), the module will return the diff of
the running-config against the startup-config.
- When this option is configured as I(intended), the module will return the diff of
the running-config against the configuration provided in the C(intended_config)
argument.
- When this option is configured as I(running), the module will return the before
and after diff of the running-config with respect to any changes made to the device
configuration.
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
running_config:
aliases:
- config
description:
- The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current
running-config 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 running-config
for every task in a playbook. The I(running_config) argument allows the implementer
to pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison.
intended_config:
description:
- The C(intended_config) provides the master configuration that the node should conform
to and is used to check the final running-config against. This argument will not
modify any settings on the remote device and is strictly used to check the compliance
of the current device's configuration against. When specifying this argument, the
task should also modify the C(diff_against) value and set it to I(intended).
diff_ignore_lines:
description:
- Use this argument to specify one or more lines that should be ignored during the
diff. This is used for lines in the configuration that are automatically updated
by the system. This argument takes a list of regular expressions or exact line
matches.
