This role facilitates the configuration of interface attributes. It supports the configuration of admin state, description, MTU, IP address, IP helper, suppress_ra, and port mode. This role is abstracted for Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10.
The Interface role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 device. You can use any of the built-in OS connection variables.
- Role is abstracted using the
ansible_network_os
variable that can takedellemc.os10.os10
as the value - If
os10_cfg_generate
is set to true, the variable generates the role configuration commands in a file - Any role variable with a corresponding state variable setting to absent negates the configuration of that variable
- Setting an empty value for any variable negates the corresponding configuration
os10_interface
(dictionary) holds a dictionary with the interface name; interface name can correspond to any of the valid OS interfaces with the unique interface identifier name- For physical interfaces, the interface name must be in format; for logical interfaces, the interface must be in <logical_interfacename> format; physical interface name can be ethernet 1/1/32
- For interface ranges, the interface name must be in range <interface_type> <node/slot/port[:subport]-node/slot/port[:subport]> format; range ethernet 1/1/1-1/1/4
- Logical interface names can be vlan 1 or port-channel 1
- Variables and values are case-sensitive
NOTE: Only define supported variables for the interface type, and do not define the switchport variable for a logical interface.

NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.
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 | os10, null* | Loads the correct terminal and cliconf plugins to communicate with the remote device |
NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.
This example uses the os10_interface role to set up description, MTU, admin status, port mode, and switchport details for an interface. The example creates a hosts file with the switch details and orresponding variables. The hosts file should define the ansible_network_os
variable with corresponding Dell EMC OS10 name.
When os10_cfg_generate
is set to true, the variable generates the configuration commands as a .part file in build_dir path. By default, this variable is set to false. The example writes a simple playbook that only references the os10_interface role.
