Hi Roger, great content. I have a dumb question, how do you figure it out to install ubuntu and still run EVE-NG over VM in windows ?. I tried it a couple of times but in my tries, I usually lose the use of VM to run EVE-NG
Hello Roger.. Thank you for your time to creating this video I have been following this video..but you forgot to explain how to configure the visual studio code to work with ansible.. Most of us come from network backgrounds..and visual studio is part of DevOps..Not networking.. Can you please explain that part, please?
There is not much to explain? VSC is just a code editor, like a fancy notepad. I just use it to edit the code and then run it from the terminal. Let me know if you want it explained more, but tbh there is nothing else to it
Hi Roger , maybe you can help me design a playbook in ansible. Design policy (1) .Issue CLI commands to the ACI device and save the output to a log. The commands to be acquired form 4 groups so that the group of commands can be divided into groups. -Commands you want to retrieve are listed in a text file for each group. - The log creates a folder of playbook execution timing and store it in a file by command. - A playbook collects multiple parts and aggregates them into one playbook by Role.
Ansible saves the configs to a local folder and then you can decide how you archive them? Pushing them to gitlab would be a good video - I will add it to the list. Setting up Gitlab for an on site repository for configs
Hello Roger, thanks for the video. But i got stuck with banner. When user login to connect to device post entering id, banner will come post that it's getting stukked and throwing an error. Could you please suggest me on this.
Hello Roger, Am working on Nexus compliance and I could successfully get the compliance report for AAA, Tacacs, username, ACL's, NTP from the existing N3k, N5k, N7k and N9k devices. But i couldn't write a playbook to fetch the trunk Interfaces (eth/po) configured with syntax 'spanning-tree port type edge trunk' from the existing configuration. Please suggest
You will probably have to use a bit of Regex to pull the config and then fish out what you are looking for. Take a loot at this NTP example - the concept is the same ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UGrCBBljkKg.html Assume you want to find all interfaces that are configured like this - or not configured like this?
For other vendors you just need to find that vendors modules, most have them. An understanding of how to configure those devices is required before you start to automate them
Hello Mr Perkin, i use Ansible Tower and i have use the script. I cann save the config files from Cisco Switches theres no Problem, now i have a Problem by Nexus Router to save the config Files. fatal: [10.x.x.x]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"}, "changed": false, "msg": "unable to elevate privilege to enable mode, at prompt [b'\\xxxx-xxxxxxxx# '] with error: failed to elevate privilege to enable mode still at prompt [b'\\xxx-xxxxxxx# ']"} when i start the console to connect to the Nexus i come in and the Nexus is in enable mode, i don´t need a comand ena. I hope you can help me by this Problem. Greeting Joe
Hi Roger , we have using cisco switch on telnet port. how to communicate ansible playbook with telnet port on switch.? Because Ansible playbook has running on SSH port default. I have tried to run on ansible playbook on telnet switch , but error message has displayed on "Un-reachable on your switches....". How to solve this issue? Thanks !..
You cannot connect to a switch using Telnet with Ansible. If you are locked in and cannot change your switches to SSH then you need to be looking at a pure Python script
@@RogerPerkin Thank you !. for your reply. my another question. why used to pure Python script? and how to used python script as soon as could not be change my switches to SSH?
