## Dependencies
|
|
---
|
|
<add dependencies information below>
|
|
|
|
- username.iptables - Configures the firewall and blocks all ports except those needed for web server and SSH access.
|
|
- username.common - Performs common server configuration.
|
|
- cnos_facts.py - This module file will be located at lib/ansible/modules/network/cnos/ of Ansible installation.
|
|
- cnos.py - This module util file will be located at lib/ansible/module_utils/network/cnos of Ansible installation.
|
|
- cnos.py - This module plugin file will be located at lib/ansible/plugins/action of Ansible installation.
|
|
- cnos.py - This module plugin file will be located at lib/ansible/plugins/cliconf of Ansible installation.
|
|
- cnos.py - This module plugin file will be located at lib/ansible/plugins/cliconf of Ansible installation.
|
|
- /etc/ansible/hosts - You must edit the */etc/ansible/hosts* file with the device information of the switches designated as leaf switches. You may refer to *cnos_command_sample_hosts* for a sample configuration.
|
|
|
|
Ansible keeps track of all network elements that it manages through a hosts file. Before the execution of a playbook, the hosts file must be set up.
|
|
|
|
Open the */etc/ansible/hosts* file with root privileges. Most of the file is commented out by using **#**. You can also comment out the entries you will be adding by using **#**. You need to copy the content of the hosts file for the role into the */etc/ansible/hosts* file. The sample hosts file for the role is located in the main directory.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[cnos_facts]
|
|
10.241.105.24 ansible_connection=network_cli ansible_network_os=cnos ansible_ssh_user=<username> ansible_ssh_pass=<password>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** You need to change the IP addresses to fit your specific topology. You also need to change the `<username>` and `<password>` to the appropriate values used to log into the specific Lenovo network devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example Playbook
|
|
---
|
|
<add playbook samples below>
|
|
|
|
To execute an Ansible playbook, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ansible-playbook cnos_facts_sample.yml -vvv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`-vvv` is an optional verbose command that helps identify what is happening during playbook execution. The playbook for each role is located in the main directory of the solution.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- name: Module to do some CLI Command configurations
|
|
hosts: cnos_facts
|
|
gather_facts: no
|
|
connection: network_cli
|
|
roles:
|
|
- cnos_facts
|
|
```
