CloudEngine OS Platform Options
***************************************
CloudEngine CE OS supports multiple connections. This page offers details on how each connection works in Ansible and how to use it.

Protocol SSH XML over SSH
Credentials uses SSH keys / SSH-agent if present uses SSH keys / SSH-agent if present
accepts ``-u myuser -k`` if using password accepts ``-u myuser -k`` if using password
Indirect Access via a bastion (jump host) via a bastion (jump host)

For legacy playbooks, Ansible still supports ``ansible_connection=local`` on all CloudEngine modules. We recommend modernizing to use ``ansible_connection=netconf`` or ``ansible_connection=network_cli`` as soon as possible.
Using CLI in Ansible
====================
Example CLI inventory ``[ce:vars]``
--------------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
[ce:vars]
ansible_connection=network_cli
ansible_network_os=ce
ansible_user=myuser
ansible_password=!vault...
ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bastion01"'
- If you are using SSH keys (including an ssh-agent) you can remove the ``ansible_password`` configuration.
- If you are accessing your host directly (not through a bastion/jump host) you can remove the ``ansible_ssh_common_args`` configuration.
- If you are accessing your host through a bastion/jump host, you cannot include your SSH password in the ``ProxyCommand`` directive. To prevent secrets from leaking out (for example in ``ps`` output), SSH does not support providing passwords via environment variables.
Example CLI Task
----------------
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: Retrieve CE OS version
ce_command:
commands: display version
when: ansible_network_os == 'ce'
Using NETCONF in Ansible
========================
Enabling NETCONF
----------------
Before you can use NETCONF to connect to a switch, you must:
- install the ``ncclient`` python package on your control node(s) with ``pip install ncclient``
- enable NETCONF on the CloudEngine OS device(s)
To enable NETCONF on a new switch via Ansible, use the ``ce_config`` module via the CLI connection. Set up your platform-level variables just like in the CLI example above, then run a playbook task like this:
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: Enable NETCONF
connection: network_cli
ce_config:
lines:
- snetconf server enable
when: ansible_network_os == 'ce'
Once NETCONF is enabled, change your variables to use the NETCONF connection.
Example NETCONF inventory ``[ce:vars]``
------------------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
[ce:vars]
ansible_connection=netconf
ansible_network_os=ce
ansible_user=myuser
ansible_password=!vault |
ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bastion01"'
Example NETCONF Task
--------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: Create a vlan, id is 50(ce)
ce_vlan:
vlan_id: 50
name: WEB
when: ansible_network_os == 'ce'
