Role: cisco.nac_dc_vxlan.dtc.create - Interface Access

mikewiebe commented 8 months ago

Role Entry Point: https://github.com/netascode/ansible-dc-vxlan/blob/main/roles/dtc/create/tasks/ndfc/main.yml#L31

This task captures the work items needed to enable configuration and deployment of access interfaces.

Add a new file called int_access.yml under https://github.com/netascode/ansible-dc-vxlan/tree/main/roles/dtc/common/tasks directory.
Add entry under cisco.nac_dc_vxlan.dtc.common role to include task file for access interfaces.
- https://github.com/netascode/ansible-dc-vxlan/blob/main/roles/dtc/common/tasks/main.yml
Add tasks inside of int_access.yml to create jinja2 template defining payload for list of access interfaces to be configured on the device.

Jinja2 Template Contents

This template generates the payload used by the cisco.dcnm.dcnm_interface module to configure/manage access interfaces.

We observed that the supported MTU values for this interface type is enum (jumbo, default). but in schema it is mtu: int(min=1500, max=9216, required=False)

The vision for the model was to support both direct to device and direct to controller. We are looking at how we can update the schema to support both a range and enum with the values default and jumbo
