Using CLI in Ansible
====================
@ -65,4 +65,37 @@ Example CLI Task
commands: show version
when: ansible_network_os == 'exos'
Using EXOS-API in Ansible
=========================
Example EXOS-API ``group_vars/exos.yml``
----------------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
ansible_connection: httpapi
ansible_network_os: exos
ansible_user: myuser
ansible_password: !vault...
proxy_env:
http_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
- If you are accessing your host directly (not through a web proxy) you can remove the ``proxy_env`` configuration.
- If you are accessing your host through a web proxy using ``https``, change ``http_proxy`` to ``https_proxy``.
Example EXOS-API Task
---------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: Retrieve EXOS OS version
exos_command:
commands: show version
when: ansible_network_os == 'exos'
In this example the ``proxy_env`` variable defined in ``group_vars`` gets passed to the ``environment`` option of the module used in the task.
