Update:

Granted the issue can be rectified via a direct task overwrite using os10_config: [Updated vxleaf-setup.yml]

          - flowcontrol transmit off
        before: ['interface ethernet 1/1/1']

    - name: Flowcontrol ethernet 1/1/2
      os10_config:  
        lines:
          - flowcontrol receive on
          - flowcontrol transmit off
        before: ['interface ethernet 1/1/2']

    - name: Flowcontrol ethernet 1/1/3
      os10_config:  
        lines:
          - flowcontrol receive on
          - flowcontrol transmit off

    - name: Flowcontrol ethernet 1/1/4

...

However this workaround makes the playbook less scale-able for larger operations involving leaf-spine architecture. I still consider updating the role to allow for flow control multi-line variance, value-added work.

[prasadapr]

@G3rmN3rd, thanks for the complete details. As you mentioned above we can directly overwrite the configuration using os10_config:

we can achieve the good scale-able for larger operations using the below playbook. we no need to configure flow control for each interface one by one. In one shot we can configure flow control for all/multiple interfaces.

Find the playbook for the reference:

[G3rmN3rd]

Maybe its my lack of understanding of Ansible, but I was hoping to be able to configure each switch as a role file. Can OS10_Config be used in that capacity?

[prasadapr]

@G3rmN3rd, you are asking using OS10_Config, are we able to configure multiple switches/devices?

[piwi3910]

When will this limitation be fixed, it's not really appropriate to have to use multiple roles to do this simple setting

[bas-1988]

Hello, I would also like to see this limitation fixed. last update was over a year ago. As I'm new to Github, I'm not sure who's looking into this stuff. is it possible for myself to suggest a change under the role configuration?

Surely It can't be harder than changing it to this? From:

  {% if intf_vars.flowcontrol is defined and intf_vars.flowcontrol %}
    {% if intf_vars.flowcontrol.mode is defined %}
      {% if intf_vars.flowcontrol.mode %}
        {% if intf_vars.flowcontrol.state is defined and intf_vars.flowcontrol.state == "absent" %}
 no flowcontrol {{ intf_vars.flowcontrol.mode }}
        {% else %}
          {% if intf_vars.flowcontrol.enable is defined %}
            {% if intf_vars.flowcontrol.enable == "on" %}
 flowcontrol {{ intf_vars.flowcontrol.mode }} on
            {% else %}
 flowcontrol {{ intf_vars.flowcontrol.mode }} off
            {% endif %}
          {% endif %}
        {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
  {% endif %}

To:

  {% if intf_vars.flowcontrol is defined and intf_vars.flowcontrol %}
    {% for flowcontroloption in intf_vars.flowcontrol.keys() %}
        {% if flowcontroloption.mode is defined %}
            {% if flowcontroloption.mode %}
                {% if flowcontroloption.state is defined and flowcontroloption.state == "absent" %}
        no flowcontrol {{ flowcontroloption.mode }}
                {% else %}
                {% if flowcontroloption.enable is defined %}
                    {% if flowcontroloption.enable == "on" %}
        flowcontrol {{ flowcontroloption.mode }} on
                    {% else %}
        flowcontrol {{ flowcontroloption.mode }} off
            {% endif %}
          {% endif %}
        {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
  {% endif %}
