netconf_config – netconf device configuration¶
Synopsis¶
Netconf is a network management protocol developed and standardized by the IETF. It is documented in RFC 6241.
This module allows the user to send a configuration XML file to a netconf device, and detects if there was a configuration change.
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
This module supports devices with and without the candidate and confirmed-commit capabilities. It will always use the safer feature.
This module supports the use of connection=netconf
For information on using netconf see the Platform Options guide using Netconf
For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide
This module is supported on
ansible_network_osnetwork platforms. See the Network Platform Options for details.
Examples¶
- name: use lookup filter to provide xml configuration
netconf_config:
content: "{{ lookup('file', './config.xml') }}"
- name: set ntp server in the device
netconf_config:
content: |
<config xmlns:xc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<system xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-system">
<ntp>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<server>
<name>ntp1</name>
<udp><address>127.0.0.1</address></udp>
</server>
</ntp>
</system>
</config>
- name: wipe ntp configuration
netconf_config:
