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 SmartFabric OS10.

The VLAN 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 variables

• Role is abstracted using the ansible_network_os variable that can take dellemc.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
• For variables with no state variable, setting an empty value for the variable negates the corresponding configuration
• os10_vlan (dictionary) holds the key with the VLAN ID key and default-vlan key.
• VLAN ID key should be in format "vlan ID" (1 to 4094)
• Variables and values are case-sensitive

os10_vlan

Key	Type	Notes	Support
default_vlan_id	integer	Configures the vlan-id as the default VLAN for an existing VLAN	os10

VLAN ID keys

Key	Type	Notes	Support
description	string	Configures a single line description for the VLAN	os10
tagged_members	list	Specifies the list of port members to be tagged to the corresponding VLAN (see tagged_members.*)	os10
tagged_members.port	string	Specifies valid device interface names to be tagged for each VLAN	os10
tagged_members.state	string: absent,present	Deletes the tagged association for the VLAN if set to absent	os10
untagged_members	list	Specifies the list of port members to be untagged to the corresponding VLAN (see untagged_members.*)	os10
untagged_members.port	string	Specifies valid device interface names to be untagged for each VLAN	os10
untagged_members.state	string: absent,present	Deletes the untagged association for the VLAN if set to absent	os10
state	string: absent,present*	Deletes the VLAN corresponding to the ID if set to absent	os10
virtual_gateway_ip	string	Configures an anycast gateway IPv4 address for VLAN interfaces	os10
virtual_gateway_ipv6	string	Configures an anycast gateway IPv6 address for VLAN interfaces	os10
ip_and_mask	string	Configures the specified IP address to the interface	os10

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	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.

Example playbook

This example uses the os10_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 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, the variable is set to false. It writes a simple playbook that only references the os10_vlan role.

Sample hosts file

leaf1 ansible_host= <ip_address> 

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.os10.os10
build_dir: ../temp/temp_os10

os10_vlan:
    default_vlan_id: 2
    vlan 100:
      description: "Blue"
      tagged_members:
          - port: ethernet 1/1/32
            state: present
          - port: ethernet 1/1/31
            state: present
      untagged_members:
          - port: ethernet 1/1/30
            state: present
          - port: ethernet 1/1/29
            state: present
      state: present
    vlan 888:
      description: "NSX_Cluster"
      untagged_members:
        - port: port-channel 1
          state: "present"
      state: "present"
    vlan 10:
      description: "vlan with anycast GW"
      ip_and_mask: "10.1.1.1/24"
      virtual_gateway_ip: "10.1.1.254"
      virtual_gateway_ipv6: "10:1:1::254"
      state: "present"

NOTE: Interfaces should be created using the os10_interface role.

Simple playbook to setup system — leaf.yaml

- hosts: leaf1
  roles:
     - dellemc.os10.os10_vlan

Run

ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml
