Option 1: Add the environment variable while running the playbook. ANSIBLE_NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES=sonic ansible-playbook sample_playbook.yaml -i inventory.ini Option 2: Add the environment variable in user profile. ANSIBLE_NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES=sonic Installation of Enterprise SONiC collection from Ansible Galaxy --------------------------------------------------------------- Install the latest version of the Enterprise SONiC collection from Ansible Galaxy. ansible-galaxy collection install dellemc.enterprise_sonic To install a specific version, specify a version range identifier. For example, to install the most recent version that is greater than or equal to 1.0.0 and less than 2.0.0. ansible-galaxy collection install 'dellemc.enterprise_sonic:>=1.0.0,<2.0.0' Sample playbooks ----------------- **VLAN configuration using CLICONF** ***sonic_network_cli.yaml*** --- - name: SONiC Management Framework CLI configuration examples hosts: sonic_switches gather_facts: no connection: network_cli tasks: - name: Add VLAN entry dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_config: commands: ['interface Vlan 700','exit'] save: yes register: config_op - name: Test SONiC single command dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_command: commands: 'show vlan' register: cmd_op **VLAN configuration using HTTPAPI** ***sonic_httpapi.yaml*** --- - name: SONiC Management Framework REST API examples hosts: sonic_switches gather_facts: no connection: httpapi tasks: - name: Perform PUT operation to add a VLAN network instance dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_api: url: data/openconfig-network-instance:network-instances/network-instance=Vlan100 method: "PUT" body: {"openconfig-network-instance:network-instance": [{"name": "Vlan100","config": {"name": "Vlan100"}}]} status_code: 204 - name: Perform GET operation to view VLAN network instance dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_api: url: data/openconfig-network-instance:network-instances/network-instance=Vlan100 method: "GET" status_code: 200 register: api_op **Configuration using network resource modules** ***sonic_resource_modules.yaml*** --- - name: VLANs, Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces configuration using Enterprise SONiC resource modules hosts: sonic_switches gather_facts: no connection: httpapi tasks: - name: Configure VLANs dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_vlans: config: - vlan_id: 701 - vlan_id: 702 - vlan_id: 703 - vlan_id: 704 state: merged register: sonic_vlans_output - name: Configure Layer 2 interfaces dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_l2_interfaces: config: - name: Eth1/2 access: vlan: 701 trunk: allowed_vlans: - vlan: 702 - vlan: 703 state: merged register: sonic_l2_interfaces_output - name: Configure Layer 3 interfaces dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_l3_interfaces: config: - name: Eth1/3 ipv4: - address: 8.1.1.1/16 ipv6: - address: 3333::1/16 state: merged register: sonic_l3_interfaces_output ***host_vars/sonic_sw1.yaml*** hostname: sonic_sw1 # Common parameters for connection type httpapi or network_cli: ansible_user: xxxx ansible_pass: xxxx ansible_network_os: dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic # Additional parameters for connection type httpapi: ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: true ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: false ***inventory.ini*** [sonic_sw1] sonic_sw1 ansible_host=100.104.28.119 [sonic_sw2] sonic_sw2 ansible_host=100.104.28.120 [sonic_switches:children] sonic_sw1 sonic_sw2 Releasing, Versioning and Deprecation ------------------------------------- This collection follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). More details on versioning can be found [in the Ansible docs](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_collections.html#collection-versions). We plan to regularly release new minor or bugfix versions once new features or bugfixes have been implemented. Enterprise SONiC Ansible Modules deprecation cycle is aligned with [Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/module_lifecycle.html). Source control branches on Github: - Released code versions are located on "release" branches with names of the form "M.x", where "M" specifies the "major" release version for releases residing on the branch. - Unreleased and pre-release code versions are located on sub-branches of the "main" branch. This is a development branch, and is not intended for use in production environments.
