This role facilitates the configuration of global system user attributes, and it supports the configuration of CLI users. This role is abstracted for Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10.
The Users 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 set to absent negates the configuration of that variable
- Setting an empty value for any variable negates the corresponding configuration
- Variables and values are case-sensitive
os10_users list keys
Key | Type | Description | Support |
---|---|---|---|
username |

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_users role to configure global system user attributes. It creates a hosts file with the switch details and corresponding variables. The hosts file should define the ansible_network_os
variable with the corresponding Dell EMC OS10 name.
When os10_cfg_generate
is set to true, the variable generates the role configuration commands in a file. It writes a simple playbook that only references the os10_users role. By including the role, you automatically get access to all of the tasks to configure user features.
Sample hosts file
leaf1 ansible_host= <ip_address>

ansible_network_os: dellemc.os10.os10
build_dir: ../temp/temp_os10
