DNS role

This role facilitates the configuration of the domain name service (DNS). This role is abstracted for Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10.

The DNS 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 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_dns keys

Key	Type	Description	Support
name_server	list	Configures DNS (see name_server.*)	os10
name_server.ip	list	Configures the name server IP	os10
name_server.vrf	list	Configures VRF for each IP	os10
name_server.state	string: absent,present*	Deletes the name server IP if set to absent	os10
domain_list	list	Configures domain-list (see domain_list.*)	os10
domain_list.name	list	Configures the domain-list name	os10
domain_list.vrf	list	Configures VRF for each domain-list name	os10
domain_list.state	string: absent,present*	Deletes the domain-list if set to absent	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_dns role to completely set up the DNS server configuration. The example 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, generates the configuration commands as a .part file in build_dir path. By default it is set to false. It writes a simple playbook that only references the os10_dns role. By including the role, you automatically get access to all of the tasks to configure DNS.

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_dns:
   domain_lookup: true
   name_server:
     - ip:
        - 3.1.1.1
        - 3.1.1.2
       vrf:
        - test
        - test1
     - ip:
        - 3.1.1.2
       vrf:
        - test1
       state: absent
     - ip:
        - 2.2.2.2
     - ip:
        - 3.3.2.2
       state: absent
   domain_list:
     - name:
        - dname7
        - dname8
       vrf:
        - test
        - test1
     - name:
       - dname7
       vrf:
        - test
        - test1
       state: absent
     - name:
        - dname3
        - dname4
     - name:
        - dname5
        - dname6
       state: absent

Note

: vrf should be present which can be configured using os10_vrf role

Simple playbook to setup DNS — leaf.yaml

- hosts: leaf1
  roles:
     - dellemc.os10.os10_dns

Run

ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml
