Dell-Networking.dellos-system

System Role

Overview

This role helps configure general system settings for Dell OS versions 6, 9, and 10. It lets you set the hostname and enable password for all three versions. Additionally, Dell OS 9 allows you to configure management route, hash algorithm, clock, terminal lines, banners, and reload types.

Requirements

To use the Dell system role, you need to connect via SSH to a Dell EMC networking device. You can use any of the standard Ansible connection variables.

Installation

To install the role, use the following command:

ansible-galaxy install Dell-Networking.dellos-system

Role Variables

The role uses the ansible_network_os variable, which can be set to dellos9, dellos6, or dellos10.
If dellos_cfg_generate is set to true, it will generate configuration commands in a file.
Setting a variable to absent removes that configuration.
Empty values for variables also negate the configuration.
Variables are case-sensitive.

Key Variables

Key	Type	Description	Supported OS
`hostname`	string	Sets the device's hostname	dellos9, dellos6, dellos10
`unique_hostname`	boolean	Enables a unique hostname on the switch	dellos9
`enable_password`	string	Sets the enable password	dellos6, dellos9
`mtu`	integer	Sets the MTU for all interfaces	dellos6
...	...	...	...

Note: An asterisk (*) indicates a default value if none is specified.

Connection Variables

Ansible requires connection details to communicate with devices in your inventory. These can be placed in group_vars, host_vars, or directly in your playbook.

Key	Required	Choices	Description
`ansible_host`	yes		Hostname or address of the remote device
`ansible_port`	no		Port for the connection, defaults to 22 if unspecified
`ansible_ssh_user`	no		Username for SSH login
`ansible_ssh_pass`	no		Password for SSH login
`ansible_become`	no	yes, no*	Switch to privileged mode before commands; defaults to no
`ansible_network_os`	yes	dellos6/dellos9/dellos10, null*	Loads correct plugins to communicate with the device

Note: An asterisk (*) indicates a default value if none is specified.

Dependencies

The dellos-system role uses modules found in core Ansible, available since version 2.2.0.

Example Playbook

Here’s a simple playbook to configure various settings such as NTP server, hostname, enable password, management route, and more.

Sample Hosts File

leaf1 ansible_host=<ip_address>

Sample Host Variables (`host_vars/leaf1`)

hostname: leaf1
ansible_become: yes
ansible_ssh_user: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_pass: xxxxx
ansible_network_os: dellos9
dellos_system:
  hostname: host1
  enable_password: dell
  ...

Basic Playbook (`leaf.yaml`)

- hosts: leaf1
  roles:
    - Dell-Networking.dellos-system

Running the Playbook

To execute the playbook, use the following command:

ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml
