New in version 2.5.
set and delete commands in the device configuration.connection: network_cli in order to work properly.| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| backup boolean |
| The backup argument will backup the current device's active configuration to the Ansible control host prior to making any changes. If the backup_options value is not given, the backup file will be located in the backup folder in the playbook root directory or role root directory if the playbook is part of an ansible role. If the directory does not exist, it is created. | |
| backup_options dictionary added in 2.8 | This is a dict object containing configurable options related to backup file path. The value of this option is read only when backup is set to yes, if backup is set to no this option will be silently ignored. | ||
| dir_path path | This option provides the path ending with directory name in which the backup configuration file will be stored. If the directory does not exist it will be first created and the filename is either the value of filename or default filename as described in filename options description. If the path value is not given in that case a backup directory will be created in the current working directory and backup configuration will be copied in filename within backup directory. | ||
| filename - | The filename to be used to store the backup configuration. If the the filename is not given it will be generated based on the hostname, current time and date in format defined by <hostname>_config.<current-date>@<current-time> | ||
| comment - | Default: "configured by edgeos_config" | Allows a commit description to be specified to be included when the configuration is committed. If the configuration is not changed or committed, this argument is ignored. | |
| config - | The config argument specifies the base configuration to use to compare against the desired configuration. If this value is not specified, the module will automatically retrieve the current active configuration from the remote device. | ||
| lines - | The ordered set of configuration lines to be managed and compared with the existing configuration on the remote device. | ||
| match - |
| The match argument controls the method used to match against the current active configuration. By default, the desired config is matched against the active config and the deltas are loaded. If the match argument is set to none the active configuration is ignored and the configuration is always loaded. | |
| save boolean |
| The save argument controls whether or not changes made to the active configuration are saved to disk. This is independent of committing the config. When set to True, the active configuration is saved. | |
| src - | The src argument specifies the path to the source config file to load. The source config file can either be in bracket format or set format. The source file can include Jinja2 template variables. | ||
Note
ANSIBLE_PERSISTENT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT to 30 is recommended since the save command can take longer than the default of 10 seconds on some EdgeOS hardware.- name: configure the remote device
