With respect to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/39386#issuecomment-384773801

It's not very clear that the NIOS lookup plugins exist. Is there some way to indicate that in the documentation section for the NIOS net_tools modules?

amuraleedhar commented 6 years ago

Please review and merge ansible/ansible#39665 This is a bug fix on cnos util module. This has to be backported to 2.5 as well.

Thank You.

acozine commented 6 years ago

Clarifying terminology for network-engine role. Background: We've used the word “parser” to describe the file with the matching rules, the module that does the matching, and the combination of the two. We're working to clarify the usage and make the modules in network-engine easier to understand and use. See https://github.com/ansible-network/network-engine/issues/65.

amuraleedhar commented 6 years ago

Please review and merge ansible/ansible#39955 Here I am modifiying cnos_facts, cnos_command to align with how it is done for other vendors. In addition to this I am adding cnos_config also. Here I am using persistent connection. Therefore all the three plugins are also introduced for this purpose viz. action, cliconf and terminal plugins. The documentation snippet in util is brought into each module documentation as they differ here. module_util/cnos.py is added with all methods that are required for this. Added unit test for each of them. In addition to that i have removed few errors from the ignore.txt as they have been addressed here

Please review and merge

Thank You.

~~ansible/ansible#40218 Starting with our recent CNOS release version 10.7, we have moved certain CLI keywords to match with Industry Standard CLI (ISCLI) keywords. For backward compatibility, old CLI keywords will continue to work for next one or two CNOS releases with a condition that “command acronyms” of old CLI keywords, cannot be used. For eg: Use “display version” instead of “disp ver”. This PR is to expand the acronymns if they are present in the python code~~

~~This has to be backported to 2.5 as well.~~

Merged into devel and cherry-picked for release in 2.5.3

caphrim007 commented 6 years ago

Discuss inclusion of 2.7 backport of Python's ipaddress.py module for usage in F5 modules. Backport is here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phihag/ipaddress/master/ipaddress.py

Same license terms would be included as seen in Ansible's ismount code found here https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/6787fc70a643fb6e2bdd2c6a6202072d21db72ef/lib/ansible/module_utils/ismount.py#L7

F5 wants to do this for the following reason

remove the netaddr dependency in several of its modules.

The reason for this is the current implementation in the modules places a dependency that must be met in Ansible (in the form of tests) and met by F5's customers (remembering to install netaddr). This second issue leads to more support requests, which are unnecessary, because this dependency can be removed.

The requested code to include, is provided natively in Python 3.x. This code would be used as a shim until such time as,

Python 3.x is considered "normal" across the Ansible user community
Python 3.x is considered "normal" across the F5 community which uses Ansible.
Python 2.x development ceases https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/

I think that based off of the pre-existing work in Ansible, and the known GPL-compatibility of the PSF and GPL3, that this should be a non-issue provided that the ipaddress.py code is clearly documented as such (and that that license does not extend beyond the ipaddress.py file.

There is existing work in Ansible's module utils to support rudimentary IP address work. F5 needs the enhanced library to support IP networks in addition to the existing IP addresses.

This module utility would only be included in F5's module_utils directory; not the larger network/common or its sub dirs. Other module authors using this module_util would assume the risk of it being removed per the bullets mentioned above.

Agreed but punted to tomorrow's core meeting due to licensing issue @Qalthos This was approved by core on 2018-06-21 @caphrim007

Ansible 2.6.0 final is now available See From a network point view Connection Plugins

httpapi - New connection method that simplifies connections to platform-specific APIs such as Arista eAPI and Cisco NXAPI. This method replaces connection: local with connection: httpapi and then specifying the specific platform via the ansible_network_os variable.

Modules

net_get - downloads a large config file to target network device with SCP/SFTP
net_put - copies a large config file to target network device with SCP/SFTP
netconf_get - fetches the configuration and state data from remote NETCONF enabled network device/host
netconf_rpc - executes generic NETCONF RPC commands that are defined by NETCONF standard as well as proprietary RPC-based NETCONF capabilities supported by the remote network device/host

General

There will be an Ansible 2.6 blog post soon with more details and links in.
Various updates have been made to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/
For more information on the connection types see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_index.html
