Thanks for sharing. A quick hit about vi editor: if you're looking for a specific word or string within a large file, instead of scrolling up and down to find that string, just press ":/" without quotes and type desired string after / and hit enter. It will take cursor to first occurrence of that string. Then you hit "n" key (short for next) to jump through all other occurrences of that string. This may save you some time in the future.
Idk if you still check out comments on your old videos, but when I'm burned out, you save me. I always feel more motivated after watching a video on your channel, and that works for any video. Thanks, man.
I owe a LOT to you. You make these intricate things, soooo easy to grasp and make me fall in love with them. Really appreciate the efforts, you put in, to make these high quality content. 😍😍
Video is pure gold, thank you! However, I spent hours troubleshooting why mine wouldn't work. In the end I realized I could not even access the Cisco environments with putty so tip for anyone having trouble, make sure you can access/login to the Cisco devices via SSH before tearing your hair out! Not sure why but the next morning I was able to login and Voila! success! The Tiger King lives!
Love it bro. I enjoy your live vids, but these quick “how-to’s” really hits the motivation spot. Crazy how hard you think something is until you try it. Had a lot of fun trying this out! Thank you.
FYI, you need to tell it to save the config. If the switch has lost of power, the configs will not stick. You need to issue: - name: Save running-config ios_config: save_when: modified OR - name: Save running-config ios_command: commands: wr
Thanks for this. I have a web development project I am doing for the ISP that I work for that will be using nodejs and ansible to create configs and more. This was a big help in thinking of design for that project. Now I know what I have to build to generate all the pieces needed for ansible.
Nice Video guy. Chen using vi it is possible to remove a character using the command x by just hitting x. It is not required to go to vi‘s insert mode. Just see this as a small hint. Regards. 👍
Hey Network Chuck! Newbie to your channel. Loving the beard. Loving the content. Loving the presentation .You're a credit to the industry, like a young Jeremy Cioara.
another good video but you probably forget to add initial step and i know why because you were using the sandboxes but you probably should have mentioned that we need to enable the SSH on the target devices and allowed the ssh via firewall if there is any in there before you can make the ansible to play its magic, hope it makes sense, not correcting you but adding the point.
I should've known by the CCNP plug that this was beyond my level of expertise. It would be cool if these videos came with a hard level (beginner, Intermediate, advanced).
Chuck, have you ever heard of Autonomous, A.I., Machine learning controlled IPS because hackers are using AI to attack systems. Sounds really Kool, supposed to be a reaction time that is "up to 300 times faster" than the whole IT Staff.
Just a note?...when I turned on "Line Numbering" the entry you mention?..was at line 71.....I guess it might be different for others if they have larger monitors or extend their window borders...but that's where it was for me...
this example does one command to many, but if you have many different commands to many different network devices, how would you implement that without doing this to each many different command?
Couldn't you just use something like Cisco Prime Infrastructure to get all this information and manage these routers and switches? I get that it's an expensive appliance tho... Is Ansible free? Thanks for your videos
For one who wants to understand what is Ansible, it is better to study it separately. For example, one can learn how to automate Linux administration tasks (create user, directory, deploy software). There is a good documentation on Ansible, and nice course by Sander. Such topics like modules, arguments, and especially roles, are not that easy. For example - yum module by Ansible works with Python 2, but dnf need Python 3. Ansible itself may take 2-3 months to learn and half a year to practice it to master. It is nice to learn a tool at least on beginner level, prior jumping to work.
Checked out the other Ansible video you dropped the other day. Pretty solid! What have you found to be the interplay between Satellite and Ansible? I assume not much from a networking perspective.
Thank you for the input on how to start with Ansible. I did follow the logic and created my own lab with AOScx images. I am looking for some guidance to get over a challenge where the ansible module loaded on Ubuntu is unable to ping the switch. I can do both ping & ssh from Ubuntu to switch but it's not working via the ansible module. ansible version- [core 2.12.2] Python= 3.8.10 jinja ver= 2.10.1
is this something you cal also do in Eve NG, I know you can do it with Gns3 but not sure about other similar software. Great video by the way, I'm going through devnet now, this is for sure the future/present of networking
Hi. It was really simple and I had a great learning experience. Do devnet provide us lab access for cisco firewall devices. If yes, please help us to set up all rules using ansible.
Great video! You mentioned that Ansible is a push model .. Is there a tool at the ansible quality level that's tailored to the pull model and is good at pulling information from configurations or performance monitoring statistics in network devices?
Great courses Leo , Any chance of a new book.... ? Ach though life is not what we find meaning in But thy must give it meaning thyself... I said that 😎
Dude. Why are you using vi like it's nano? If you know what you're looking for use / If you want to simply delete a single character, use x while still in normal mode. You could've stayed in normal that whole first session. Capital G to jump to end of file in the second session.
Ansible was great, til cli templates came out which is basically just the ansible playbooks built right into your controller managing switches and APs, For firewalls, I’d rather use terraform
Thanks a lot for this video, really helpful. But when I try to run this playbook I get an error: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "operation requires privilege escalation"} . Any comments about this? By the way ansible.cfg and hosts are configured the way you did it.
Merci pour ce partage énorme, toutefois ce qui me cause le problème c'est comment émuler cet environnement, autrement dit ces routeurs auquels vous vous connectez sont des vrais ou juste emulés sous GNS3, et si oui, comment vous pouvez ajouter une machine linux sur GNS3 pour installer ansible. Merci
il y'a des appliances network automation disponible sur le market place de gns 3 avec ansible deja installé , ou encore à defaut , vous pouvez installer une vm sur votre pc , y deployer ansible , et importer l'applicance sur gns3 , puis faire le mapping de l'interface eth2 a du cloud de la gns3vm avec le pont qu pc et faire pareil sur la vm ainsi ils pourront communiquer directement . vous pouvez aussi le faire directement via le cloud gns3 sans importer la vm sous gns3 elle communiquera quand meme avec gns3
Sound and clear.. thanks for this. Could you please share if there is a good way to manage HP switches using Ansible ? Tried, cli_command, raw, all those but didnt help
@@NetworkChuck oh okay.. Thanks for replying. Yeah, I used some but seems not maintaining those and not working with latest Ansible version. Also posted here; in case anyone can help. stackoverflow.com/questions/62386546/ansible-modules-for-hp-switches-comware-7
Hey Chuck, thanks for the high quality videos. Would u mind making video about the real world routing and switchng market share? What about huawei? Mikrotik? Juniper? Cisco is going down every year and other brands are rising due to price/quality.
Hey Chuck I just Love your content. can you please visit and show us any data center in which the CCIE's Engineers and network are engineers working. We want to see how the work goes in the data center. Because we don't know what the things a network engineer has to to daily at the data center.
Question: do you think there is a way to use this to go thru all wan interfaces and maybe trunks to modify the description to add a piece of text like the word MON to indicate monitor this interface and keep the rest of the description that is already there? I am using a monitor tool which if i use a keyword in the interface description i can have it automatically add to a group in this tool. The issue is this is a legacy enterprise network and I need to do this for like 18k interfaces. Any new interfaces have this word at the beginning of the description, it is just the things that have been out there for years i would like to touch thru some automation.
I HAVE LINUX on windows and Ansible installed - everytime i turn on my computer and run linux, the command line starts in linux. What command do i type to start Ansible from linux command line
I am planning to become a pentester. Do you believe I should go for the CCNA Cert series or CompTIA net+ and security+? Basically I am asking if I should invest more in my network knowledge(ccna, ccnp in R&S +Security etc) or just go for the network+ and Security+ from CompTIA. Thanks
