Ansible for XOS

[Andreas_Larsen]

Have anyone done any playbook work with ansible for Extreme networks ? Is there anything done in the ansible-galaxy part or anything done internally at Extreme ?

Hello, came here looking for anyone using Ansible to push firmware updates to XOS devices, and it looks like it's still in process, and more of a 21.1 thing. Since the last post is seven months old, I'm wondering if any progress has been made on this. I would just like to easily push firmware updates to all our Summit switches, without having to login to each one and TFTP/SCP the XOS firmware and SSH mod.

You can also use ansible modules from the managing host with delegate_to. I think many of the modules for setting up vms on aws, configure bigip loadbalancers and a few others.

Hi,

With EXOS 21.1, there're several enhancements that open doors to Ansible. There's a MMI, using JSONRPC with different methods: CLI or Python. So that's, imho, the foundation for using Ansible here.

However, there's no module nor playbook, and it may require some effort yet to have it running smoothly.
