SLX-OS Platform Options
|
|
***************************************
|
|
|
|
Extreme SLX-OS Ansible modules only support CLI connections today. ``httpapi`` modules may be added in future.
|
|
This page offers details on how to use ``network_cli`` on SLX-OS in Ansible 2.6.

SLX-OS does not support ``ansible_connection: local``. You must use ``ansible_connection: network_cli``.
|
|
|
|
Using CLI in Ansible 2.6
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
Example CLI ``group_vars/slxos.yml``
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ansible_connection: network_cli
|
|
ansible_network_os: slxos
|
|
ansible_user: myuser
|
|
ansible_ssh_pass: !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_ssh_pass`` 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: Backup current switch config (slxos)
|
|
slxos_config:
|
|
backup: yes
|
|
register: backup_slxos_location
|
|
when: ansible_network_os == 'slxos'
