VLAN role

This role facilitates configuring virtual LAN (VLAN) attributes. It supports the creation and deletion of a VLAN and its member ports. This role is abstracted for dellos9, dellos6, and dellos10 devices.

The VLAN role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC Networking device. You can use any of the built-in OS connection variables.

Installation

ansible-galaxy install Dell-Networking.dellos-vlan

Role variables

• Role is abstracted using the ansible_network_os variable that can take dellos9, dellos10, and dellos6 values
• If dellos_cfg_generate is set to true, the variable generates the role configuration commands in a file
• Any role variable with a corresponding state variable set to absent negates the configuration of that variable
• For variables with no state variable, setting an empty value for the variable negates the corresponding configuration
• dellos_vlan (dictionary) holds the key with the VLAN ID key and default-vlan key.
• VLAN ID key should be in format "vlan " (1 to 4094)
• Variables and values are case-sensitive

dellos_vlan

Key	Type	Notes	Support
default_vlan	boolean	Configures the default VLAN feature as diabled if set to true	dellos9

VLAN ID keys

Key	Type	Notes	Support
name	string	Configures the name of the VLAN	dellos6, dellos9
description	string	Configures a single line description for the VLAN	dellos9, dellos10

state	string: absent,present*	Deletes the VLAN corresponding to the ID if set to absent	dellos6, dellos9, dellos10

NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.

Connection variables

Ansible Dell EMC Networking roles require connection information to establish communication with the nodes in your inventory. This information can exist in the Ansible group_vars or host_vars directories or inventory, or in the playbook itself.

Key	Required	Choices	Description
ansible_host	yes		Specifies the hostname or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport
ansible_port	no		Specifies the port used to build the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_REMOTE_PORT option is used; it defaults to 22
ansible_ssh_user	no		Specifies the username that authenticates the CLI login for the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER environment variable value is used
ansible_ssh_pass	no		Specifies the password that authenticates the connection to the remote device
ansible_become	no	yes, no*	Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_BECOME environment variable value is used, and the device attempts to execute all commands in non-privileged mode
ansible_become_method	no	enable, sudo*	Instructs the module to allow the become method to be specified for handling privilege escalation; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_BECOME_METHOD environment variable value is used
ansible_become_pass	no		Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device; if ansible_become is set to no this key is not applicable
ansible_network_os	yes	dellos6/dellos9/dellos10, null*	Loads the correct terminal and cliconf plugins to communicate with the remote device

NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.

Dependencies

The dellos-vlan role is built on modules included in the core Ansible code. These modules were added in Ansible version 2.2.0.

Example playbook

This example uses the dellos-vlan role to setup the VLAN ID and name, and it configures tagged and untagged port members for the VLAN. You can also delete the VLAN with the ID or delete the members associated to it. It creates a hosts file with the switch details and corresponding variables. The hosts file should define the ansible_network_os variable with corresponding Dell EMC networking OS name.

When dellos_cfg_generate is set to true, the variable generates the configuration commands as a .part file in build_dir path. By default, the variable is set to false. It writes a simple playbook that only references the dellos-vlan role.

Sample hosts file

leaf1 ansible_host= <ip_address> 

Sample host_vars/leaf1

hostname: leaf1
ansible_become: yes
ansible_become_method: xxxxx
ansible_become_pass: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_user: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_pass: xxxxx
ansible_network_os: dellos9
build_dir: ../temp/dellos9

dellos_vlan:
    default_vlan: true
    vlan 100:
      name: "Mgmt Network"
      description: "Int-vlan"
      tagged_members:
        - port: fortyGigE 1/30
          state: absent
      untagged_members:
        - port: fortyGigE 1/14
          state: present
      state: present

Simple playbook to setup system - leaf.yaml

- hosts: leaf1
  roles:
     - Dell-Networking.dellos-vlan

Run

ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml
