Ansible Role: cnos_facts - Displays switch inforamtion


Collects a base set of device facts from a remote Lenovo device running on CNOS. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with C(ansible_net_). The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.

Requirements


  • Ansible version 2.6 or later (Ansible installation documentation)
  • Lenovo switches running CNOS version 10.2.1.0 or later
  • an SSH connection to the Lenovo switch (SSH must be enabled on the network device)

Role Variables


Available variables are listed below, along with description.

The following are mandatory inventory variables:

Variable Description
ansible_connection Has to be network_cli
ansible_network_os Has to be cnos
ansible_ssh_user Specifies the username used to log into the switch
ansible_ssh_pass Specifies the password used to log into the switch

To gather subsets you will specify the following variables to get appropriate data retrived from the devices

Variable Description
gather_subset When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all, hardware, config, and interfaces. Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. Values can also be used with an initial C(M(!)) to specify that a specific subset should not be collected.

Need to specify these variables in vars/main.yml under variable cli

Variable Description
host Has to be "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
port Has to be22
username User Name of switch
password Password of switch
timeout time out value for CLI
authorixe Whether u have to enter enable mode for data collection.
auth_pass Enable Password if required

Dependencies


  • 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


To execute an Ansible playbook, use the following command:

ansible-playbook cnos_facts_sample.yml -vvv

-vvv is an optional verbos 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
