Dell Switch
This role configures Dell switches using the dellos6
or dellos9
Ansible
modules. It provides a fairly minimal abstraction of the configuration
interface provided by the dellos
modules, allowing for application of
arbitrary switch configuration options.
Requirements
The switches should be configured to allow SSH access.
Role Variables
dell_switch_delegate_to
is the host on which to execute the dellos
Ansible
modules.
dell_switch_type
is the type of Dell switch. One of dellos6
, dellos9
.
dell_switch_provider
is authentication provider information passed as the
provider
argument to the dellos
modules.
dell_switch_config
is a list of configuration lines to apply to the switch,
and defaults to an empty list.
dell_switch_interface_config
contains interface configuration. It is a dict
mapping switch interface names to configuration dicts. Each dict may contain
the following items:
description
- a description to apply to the interface.config
- a list of per-interface configuration.
Dependencies
None
Example Playbook
The following playbook configures hosts in the dellos9-switches
group.
It assumes host variables for each switch holding the host, username and
passwords. It applies global configuration for LLDP, and enables two
10G ethernet interfaces as switchports.
