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 Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC OS9. The VLAN role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC OS9 device. You can use any of the built-in OS connection variables. Role variables -------------- - Role is abstracted using the `ansible_network_os` variable that can take `dellemc.os9.os9` as the value - If `os9_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 - `os9_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 **os9_vlan** | Key | Type | Notes | Support | |------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------| | ``default_vlan`` | boolean | Configures the default VLAN feature as diabled if set to true | os9 | **VLAN ID keys** | Key | Type | Notes | Support | |------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------| | ``name`` | string | Configures the name of the VLAN | os9 | | ``description`` | string | Configures a single line description for the VLAN | os9 | | ``tagged_members`` | list | Specifies the list of port members to be tagged to the corresponding VLAN (see ``tagged_members.*``) | os9 | | ``tagged_members.port`` | string | Specifies valid device interface names to be tagged for each VLAN | os9 | | ``tagged_members.state`` | string: absent,present | Deletes the tagged association for the VLAN if set to absent | os9 | | ``untagged_members`` | list | Specifies the list of port members to be untagged to the corresponding VLAN (see ``untagged_members.*``) | os9 | | ``untagged_members.port`` | string | Specifies valid device interface names to be untagged for each VLAN | os9 | | ``untagged_members.state`` | string: absent,present | Deletes the untagged association for the VLAN if set to absent | os9 | | ``state`` | string: absent,present\* | Deletes the VLAN corresponding to the ID if set to absent | os9 | > **NOTE**: Asterisk (\*) denotes the default value if none is specified. Connection variables -------------------- Ansible Dell EMC network 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 | os9, null\* | Loads the correct terminal and cliconf plugins to communicate with the remote device | > **NOTE**: Asterisk (\*) denotes the default value if none is specified. ## Example playbook This example uses the *os9_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 OS9 name. When `os9_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 os9_vlan role. **Sample hosts file** leaf1 ansible_host= **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: dellemc.os9.os9 build_dir: ../temp/os9 os9_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: - dellemc.os9.os9_vlan **Run** ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml (c) 2017-2020 Dell Inc. or its subsidiaries.
