CML Bootstrap Cat9000v

Marcel Zehnder — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 15:11:33 GMT

I'm using https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-cml to build CML labs. When using the Cat9000v image, I need to manually cancel the autoinstall process and provide an enable secret password (altough I provide a enable secret as part of the bootstrap config). Once I cancel autoinstall and provide the enable secret password the device loads the provided bootstrap config - any hints how to skip this two steps?

Thanks
Marcel

Found something on https://developer.cisco.com/docs/modeling-labs/#!cat-9000v/using-catalyst-9000v-nodes-in-cml:

The day 0 config does apply, but it takes a long time to load. If you see the autoinstall menu, do not press any key until you see the message about trying DHCP on Gi0/0. Also note that if you do not have an enable secret configured, you will be prompted to configure one after answering, "no", to the initial config dialog.

So I guess I should just wait 🙂

Thanks Stuart, however I think the issue is more related to CML, specially to the Cat9000v image (which is in beta state) - maybe it will be fixed in a future release. The Ansible module is working fine.
