sros_command - Run commands on remote devices running Nokia SR OS

New in version 2.2.

Synopsis

Sends arbitrary commands to an SR OS node and returns the results read from the device. This module includes an argument that will cause the module to wait for a specific condition before returning or timing out if the condition is not met. This module does not support running commands in configuration mode. Please use sros_config to configure SR OS devices.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
commands
yes
List of commands to send to the remote SR OS device over the configured provider. The resulting output from the command is returned. If the wait_for argument is provided, the module is not returned until the condition is satisfied or the number of retries has expired.
host
yes
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
interval
no 1
Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command. If the command does not pass the specified conditions, the interval indicates how long to wait before trying the command again.
match
no all
  • any
  • all
The match argument is used in conjunction with the wait_for argument to specify the match policy. Valid values are all or any. If the value is set to all then all conditionals in the wait_for must be satisfied. If the value is set to any then only one of the values must be satisfied.
password
no
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
port
no 22
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
provider
no
Convenience argument that allows connection arguments to be passed as a dict object. These include host, port, username, password, ssh_keyfile, and timeout. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict.
retries
no 10
Specifies the number of retries a command should by tried before it is considered failed. The command is run on the target device every retry and evaluated against the wait_for conditions.
ssh_keyfile
no
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.
timeout
no 10
Specifies idle timeout for the connection, in seconds. Useful if the console freezes before continuing. For example when saving configurations.
username
no
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
wait_for
no
List of conditions to evaluate against the output of the command. The task will wait for each condition to be true before moving forward. If the conditional is not true within the configured number of retries, the task fails. See examples.
aliases: waitfor

Examples

# Note: examples below use the following provider dict to handle
#       transport and authentication to the node.
vars:
  cli:
    host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    username: admin
    password: admin
    transport: cli

tasks:
  - name: run show version on remote devices
    sros_command:
      commands: show version
      provider: "{{ cli }}"

  - name: run show version and check to see if output contains sros
    sros_command:
      commands: show version
      wait_for: result[0] contains sros
      provider: "{{ cli }}"

  - name: run multiple commands on remote nodes
     sros_command:
      commands:
        - show version
        - show port detail
      provider: "{{ cli }}"

  - name: run multiple commands and evaluate the output
    sros_command:
      commands:
        - show version
        - show port detail
      wait_for:
        - result[0] contains TiMOS-B-14.0.R4
      provider: "{{ cli }}"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Common Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
