community.network.icx_config module – Manage configuration sections of Ruckus ICX 7000 series switches
Note
This module is part of the community.network collection (version 5.0.2).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package.
It is not included in ansible-core.
To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.network.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.network.icx_config.
Synopsis
Ruckus ICX configurations use a simple block indent file syntax for segmenting configuration into sections. This module provides an implementation for working with ICX configuration sections in a deterministic way.
Aliases: network.icx.icx_config
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
The ordered set of commands to append to the end of the command stack if a change needs to be made. Just like with before this allows the playbook designer to append a set of commands to be executed after the command set. |
|
This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current Choices:
|
|
The ordered set of commands to push on to the command stack if a change needs to be made. This allows the playbook designer the opportunity to perform configuration commands prior to pushing any changes without affecting how the set of commands are matched against the system. |
|
This argument specifies whether or not to collect all defaults when getting the remote device running config. When enabled, the module will get the current config by issuing the command Choices:
|
|
When using the When this option is configure as startup, the module will return the diff of the running-config against the configuration. When this option is configured as intended, the module will return the diff of the running-config against the configuration provided in the When this option is configured as running, the module will return the before and after diff of the running-config with respect to any changes made to the device configuration. Choices:
|
|
Use this argument to specify one or more lines that should be ignored during the diff. This is used for lines in the configuration that are automatically updated by the system. This argument takes a list of regular expressions or exact line matches. |
|
The |
|
The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. The commands must be the exact same commands as found in the device running-config. Be sure to note the configuration command syntax as some commands are automatically modified by the device config parser. |
|
Instructs the module on the way to perform the matching of the set of commands against the current device config. If match is set to line, commands are matched line by line. If match is set to strict, command lines are matched with respect to position. If match is set to exact, command lines must be an equal match. Finally, if match is set to none, the module will not attempt to compare the source configuration with the running configuration on the remote device. Choices:
|
|
This argument is used when pushing a multiline configuration element to the ICX device. It specifies the character to use as the delimiting character. This only applies to the configuration action. Default: |
|
The ordered set of parents that uniquely identify the section or hierarchy the commands should be checked against. If the parents argument is omitted, the commands are checked against the set of top level or global commands. |
|
Instructs the module on the way to perform the configuration on the device. If the replace argument is set to line then the modified lines are pushed to the device in configuration mode. If the replace argument is set to block then the entire command block is pushed to the device in configuration mode if any line is not correct. Choices:
|
|
The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current running-config to use as a base for comparing against the contents of source. There are times when it is not desirable to have the task get the current running-config for every task in a playbook. The running_config argument allows the implementer to pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison. |
|
When changes are made to the device running-configuration, the changes are not copied to non-volatile storage by default. Using this argument will change that before. If the argument is set to always, then the running-config will always be copied to the start-up configuration and the modified flag will always be set to True. If the argument is set to modified, then the running-config will only be copied to the start-up configuration if it has changed since the last save to configuration. If the argument is set to never, the running-config will never be copied to the configuration. If the argument is set to changed, then the running-config will only be copied to the configuration if the task has made a change. Choices:
|
|
Specifies the source path to the file that contains the configuration or configuration template to load. The path to the source file can either be the full path on the Ansible control host or a relative path from the playbook or role root directory. This argument is mutually exclusive with lines, parents. |
