VRRP role

This role facilitates configuring virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) attributes. It supports the creation of VRRP groups for interfaces and setting the VRRP group attributes. This role is abstracted for OS6.

The VRRP role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC OS6 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.os6.os6 as a value
• If os6_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
• os6_vrrp (dictionary) holds a dictionary with the interface name key
• Interface name can correspond to any of the valid os6 interface with a unique interface identifier name
• Physical interfaces names must be in format (for example Fo1/0/1)
• Variables and values are case-sensitive

Key	Type	Description	Support
vrrp_group_id	integer (required)	Configures the ID for the VRRP group (1 to 255)	os6
description	string	Configures a single line description for the VRRP group	os6
virtual_address	string	Configures a virtual address to the VRRP group (A.B.C.D format)	os6
enable	boolean: true,false	Enables/disables the VRRP group at the interface	os6
preempt	boolean: true*,false	Configures preempt mode on the VRRP group	os6
priority	integer	Configures priority for the VRRP group (1 to 255; default 100), field needs to be left blank to remove the priority	os6
state	string: present*,absent	Deletes the VRRP group from the interface if set to absent; VRRP group needs to be disabled to delete the VRRP group from the interface	os6

Note

: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.

Connection variables

Ansible Dell EMC Networking 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	os6, 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 os6_vrrp role to configure VRRP commands at the interfaces. 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 OS6 name.

When os6_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 os6_vrrp role.

Sample hosts file

switch1 ansible_host= <ip_address> 

Sample host_vars/switch1

hostname: switch1
ansible_become: yes
ansible_become_method: enable
ansible_become_pass: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_user: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_pass: xxxxx
ansible_network_os: dellemc.os6.os6
build_dir: ../temp/os6
os6_vrrp:
    vlan 4:
      - vrrp_group_id: 4
        state: present
        description: "Interface-vrrp4"
        virtual_address: 10.2.0.1
        enable: true
        priority: 120
        preempt: false

Simple playbook to setup system — switch1.yaml

- hosts: switch1
  roles:
     - dellemc.os6.os6_vrrp

Run

ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml
