cnos_portchannel - Manage portchannel (port aggregation) configuration on devices running Lenovo CNOS
New in version 2.3.
Synopsis
- This module allows you to work with port aggregation related configurations. The operators used are overloaded to ensure control over switch port aggregation configurations. Apart from the regular device connection related attributes, there are five LAG arguments which are overloaded variables that will perform further configurations. They are interfaceArg1, interfaceArg2, interfaceArg3, interfaceArg4, and interfaceArg5. For more details on how to use these arguments, see [Overloaded Variables]. This module uses SSH to manage network device configuration. The results of the operation will be placed in a directory named ‘results’ that must be created by the user in their local directory to where the playbook is run. For more information about this module from Lenovo and customizing it usage for your use cases, please http://systemx.lenovofiles.com/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.lenovo.switchmgt.ansible.doc%2Fcnos_portchannel.html
Options
parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
deviceType (added in 2.3)
| yes |
| This specifies the type of device where the method is executed. The choices NE1072T,NE1032,NE1032T,NE10032, NE2572 are added since version 2.4 | |
enablePassword (added in 2.3)
| no | Configures the password used to enter Global Configuration command mode on the switch. If the switch does not request this password, the parameter is ignored.While generally the value should come from the inventory file, you can also specify it as a variable. This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, no default value will be used. | ||
host (added in 2.3)
| yes | This is the variable used to search the hosts file at /etc/ansible/hosts and identify the IP address of the device on which the template is going to be applied. Usually the Ansible keyword {{ inventory_hostname }} is specified in the playbook as an abstraction of the group of network elements that need to be configured. | ||
interfaceArg1 | yes |
| This is an overloaded Port Channel first argument. Usage of this argument can be found is the User Guide referenced above. | |
interfaceArg2 | no |
| This is an overloaded Port Channel second argument. Usage of this argument can be found is the User Guide referenced above. | |
interfaceArg3 | no |
| This is an overloaded Port Channel third argument. Usage of this argument can be found is the User Guide referenced above. | |
interfaceArg4 | no |
| This is an overloaded Port Channel fourth argument. Usage of this argument can be found is the User Guide referenced above. | |
interfaceArg5 | no |
| This is an overloaded Port Channel fifth argument. Usage of this argument can be found is the User Guide referenced above. | |
interfaceArg6 | no |
| This is an overloaded Port Channel sixth argument. Usage of this argument can be found is the User Guide referenced above. | |
interfaceArg7 | no |
| This is an overloaded Port Channel seventh argument. Usage of this argument can be found is the User Guide referenced above. | |
interfaceRange | yes | This specifies the interface range in which the port aggregation is envisaged | ||
outputfile (added in 2.3)
| yes | This specifies the file path where the output of each command execution is saved. Each command that is specified in the merged template file and each response from the device are saved here. Usually the location is the results folder, but you can choose another location based on your write permission. | ||
password (added in 2.3)
| yes | Configures the password used to authenticate the connection to the remote device. The value of the password parameter is used to authenticate the SSH session. While generally the value should come from the inventory file, you can also specify it as a variable. This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, no default value will be used. | ||
username (added in 2.3)
| yes | Configures the username used to authenticate the connection to the remote device. The value of the username parameter is used to authenticate the SSH session. While generally the value should come from the inventory file, you can also specify it as a variable. This parameter is optional. If it is not specified, no default value will be used. |
