cisco_config_parser

A role using ansible-network.network-engine's command_parser to generate host_vars of ios device from the running-config.

A more complete and lighter alternative to ios_facts.

Requirements

Ssh and privilege 15 on the device to retrieve the running-config.

vars retrieved

• hostname
• major version
• aaa
• vlan
• vrf
• interfaces
• line
• ... (more to come)

Check my example in tests/host_vars/CSR1000v1 extracted from the configuration here: files/CSR1000v1.ios

Dependencies

Ansible-network.network-engine

How to test it

• git clone https://github.com/kvernNC/cisco_config_parser.git
• cd cisco_config_parser/tests/
• ansible-galaxy install -r roles/requirements.yml
• edit inventory and group_vars for adding your device
• ansible-playbook test.yml
• check the result in host_vars

How to use it in your Playbook

As host_vars aren't dynamically read by ansible, you should run this role on independant playbook and then run your playbook without ios_facts.
