os10_fabric_summary

This role is used to get show system information of all devices in the fabric. This role is abstracted for Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10.

The Fabric summary 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.

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
`os10_cli_user`	no		Specifies the username that authenticates the CLI login for the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the default value is used
`os10_cli_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.

Dependencies

xmltodict library should be installed to get show command output in dict format from XML
To install the package use the pip install xmltodict command

Example playbook

This example uses the os10_fabric_summary role to completely get the show 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.

The os10_fabric_summary role has a simple playbook that only references the os10_fabric_summary role.

Sample hosts file

    site1-spine1 ansible_host=10.11.180.21 os10_cli_user=admin os10_cli_pass=admin ansible_network_os=dellemc.os10.os10
    site1-spine2 ansible_host=10.11.180.22 os10_cli_user=admin os10_cli_pass=admin ansible_network_os=dellemc.os10.os10
    site2-spine1 ansible_host=10.11.180.23 os10_cli_user=admin os10_cli_pass=admin ansible_network_os=dellemc.os10.os10
    site2-spine2 ansible_host=10.11.180.24 os10_cli_user=admin os10_cli_pass=admin ansible_network_os=dellemc.os10.os10
    [spine]
    site1-spine1
    site1-spine2
    site2-spine1

Sample host_vars/site1-spine1

cli:
   host: "{{ ansible_host }}"
   username: "{{ os10_cli_user | default('admin') }}"
   password: "{{ os10_cli_pass | default('admin') }}"
   timeout: 300
os10_cli_user: xxxx
os10_cli_pass: xxxx
ansible_network_os: dellemc.os10.os10
