Ansible: - ios_config sub configuration level

Netmart — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 05:36:19 GMT

Hello,

I am wondering about the syntax when adding or removing parameters for example removing a redistribution list under the BGP Process / Address Family IP4 - see example below.

Thanks,

tasks:

- name: no router eigrp

ios_config:

commands:

- no router eigrp 10

- no snmp-server enable traps eigrp

Hello @Netmart,

Neighbor is missing I think ; examplewith neighbor 192.168.1.1:

- name: bgp configuration
ios_config:
lines:
- router bgp 65100
- neighbor 192.168.1.1 remote-as 65000
- neighbor 192.168.1.1 description Neighbor_to_AS_65000
- address-family ipv4
- no redistribute eigrp 15 route-map EIGRP-2-BGP
become: true
register: output

You can also try using the cisco.ios.ios_bgp_address_family module (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/cisco/ios/ios_bgp_address_family_module.html#ansible-collections-cisco-ios-ios-bgp-address-family-module😞

    - name: "No EIGRP redist route map"
      cisco.ios.ios_bgp_address_family:
        config:
          as_number: 65100
          address_family:
            - afi: ipv4
              safi: unicast
              redistribute:
                - eigrp:
                    as_number: 15
                    route_map: EIGRP-2-BGP
        state: deleted

Hello Marcel,

If I am trying the following it does delete all neighbor configs und address-family ip4 entries.

The idea was to only delete the route map entry "RM-EIGRP-2-BGP"

tasks:

- name: "BGP: No EIGRP redist route map"

cisco.ios.ios_bgp_address_family:

config:

as_number: 65100

address_family:

- afi: ipv4

redistribute:

- eigrp:

as_number: 10

route_map: RM-EIGRP-2-BGP

state: deleted

become: true

Extract of result:

},
"changed": true,
"commands": [
"router bgp 65411",
"no address-family ipv4"
],
"failed": false

Sorry this does not work:

TASK [BGP: No EIGRP redist route map] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [*******]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "dictionary requested, could not parse JSON or key=value"}

Try to define your entire address-familiy configuration using cisco.ios.ios_bgp_address_family and use "replaced" as the state.

Hello Marcel,

To me the following solution eventually worked out:

- name: "BGP: no EIGRP redist route map"

ios_config:

lines:

- no redistribute eigrp 10 route-map EIGRP-2-BGP

parents:

- router bgp 65411

- address-family ipv4

become: true
