# Ansible Role: cnos_showrun_sample - Displays Running Configuration inforamtion
|
|
---
|
|
<add role description below>
|
|
|
|
This role is an example of using the *cnos_showrun.py* Lenovo module in the context of CNOS switch configuration. This module allows you to view the switch information. It executes the **display running-config** CLI command on a switch and returns a file containing all the system information of the target network device.
|
|
|
|
The results of the operation can be viewed in results directory.
|
|
|
|

## Dependencies
|
|
---
|
|
<add dependencies information below>
|
|
|
|
- username.iptables - Configures the firewall and blocks all ports except those needed for web server and SSH access.
|
|
- username.common - Performs common server configuration.
|
|
- cnos_showrun.py - This modules needs to be present in the *library* directory of the role.
|
|
- cnos.py - This module needs to be present in the PYTHONPATH environment variable set in the Ansible system.
|
|
- /etc/ansible/hosts - You must edit the */etc/ansible/hosts* file with the device information of the switches designated as leaf switches. You may refer to *cnos_showrun_sample_hosts* for a sample configuration.
|
|
|
|
Ansible keeps track of all network elements that it manages through a hosts file. Before the execution of a playbook, the hosts file must be set up.
|
|
|
|
Open the */etc/ansible/hosts* file with root privileges. Most of the file is commented out by using **#**. You can also comment out the entries you will be adding by using **#**. You need to copy the content of the hosts file for the role into the */etc/ansible/hosts* file. The hosts file for the role is located in the main directory of the role.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[cnos_showrun_sample]
|
|
10.241.107.39 ansible_network_os=cnos ansible_ssh_user=<username> ansible_ssh_pass=<password> deviceType=g8272_cnos
|
|
10.241.107.40 ansible_network_os=cnos ansible_ssh_user=<username> ansible_ssh_pass=<password> deviceType=g8272_cnos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** You need to change the IP addresses to fit your specific topology. You also need to change the `<username>` and `<password>` to the appropriate values used to log into the specific Lenovo network devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example Playbook
|
|
---
|
|
<add playbook samples below>
|
|
|
|
To execute an Ansible playbook, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ansible-playbook cnos_showrun_sample.yml -vvv
|
|
```
