Stage 2.3 - Ansible | Presidio Workshops

Return to Workshop

Stage 2 Ansible Basics

Estimated time to complete: 45 minutes

In Stage 2, we will discuss Ansible basics.

We will run through some of the commands and concepts to better understand Ansible.

Utilizing Ansible to configure network devices in minutes.

Allows us to easily deploy and test changes prior to releasing it to production.

Here are the requirements for Stage 2

Here is a diagram of Stage 2. This shows all the technology we will be using in Stage 2.

It also defines the use cases we will be working on in Stage 2.

Here is a summary of Stage 2

Let’s try Ansible on Server 1

Change Directory to the following

cd ~/network-automation/backup/

Run the build Ansible playbook which will create a folder of today’s date

ansible-playbook playbooks/make_folder.yaml -v

After running the ls command notice the new folder based on the date

ls

cloud_user@ed26757f4b2c:~/network-automation/backup$ ls
ansible.cfg  inventory  playbooks
cloud_user@ed26757f4b2c:~/network-automation/backup$ ansible-playbook playbooks/make_folder.yaml -v
Using /home/cloud_user/network-automation/backup/ansible.cfg as config file

So what are we trying to accomplish…..

We need to get configurations on the switches, make changes, validate the changes and then test the changes

To start let’s automate the following with Ansible:

Basic IP Connectivity
Basic BGP
VLANs
VXLAN
SNMP

Let’s Add A Configuration To The Switches

Run the build Ansible playbook and beware of the error. This is to be expected.

cd ~/network-automation/build/
ansible-playbook build.yaml -v

This error highlights the use of collections or modules from different manufacturers

cloud_user@ed26757f4b2c:~/network-automation/build$ ansible-playbook build.yaml -v
Using /home/cloud_user/network-automation/build/ansible.cfg as config file
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'arista.eos.eos_snmp_server'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in '/home/cloud_user/network-automation/build/build.yaml': line 111, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:


    - name: CONFIGURE SNMP

Let’s Backup the Switch Configurations

Change Directory to the following:

cd ~/network-automation/backup/

Run the build Ansible playbook

ansible-playbook playbooks/manual_backup.yaml -v

Check out the configurations in the dated directory

cloud_user@ed26757f4b2c:~/network-automation/backup$ ls
2023-08-21  ansible.cfg  inventory  playbooks
cloud_user@ed26757f4b1c:~/network-automation/backup$ ansible-playbook playbooks/manual_backup.yaml -v
Using /home/cloud_user/network-automation/backup/ansible.cfg as config file

Let’s Document The Devices with Ansible

Change Directory to the following

cd ~/network-automation/document/

This playbook will create a custom index.html file with the ansible facts provided from the switches

Run the build Ansible playbook

ansible-playbook document.yaml -v

cloud_user@ed26757f4b1c:~/network-automation/document$ ansible-playbook document.yaml -v
Using /home/cloud_user/network-automation/document/ansible.cfg as config file

Now that we created the custom index.html file

We need to create a Web Server

Lets build a Docker container and use Nginx as the Web Server

Lets review the Dockerfile in the document folder

This is a basic Dockerfile to use the latest version of Nginx to copy the files from the document folder to the /usr/share/nginx/html directory in the new container.

FROM nginx:latest
WORKDIR /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY  . .

We need to first build the custom docker container using the following command:

docker build -t netdevops-nginx:1.0 .

Run the following command to list the docker images

docker image ls

cloud_user@ed26757f4b1c:~/network-automation/document$ docker build -t netdevops-nginx:1.0 .

1	New Nginx container

Open a Web Browser and go to the FQDN of Server 1

Figure 1: Network Automation Web Page

If you want to troubleshoot the container

Login to the console of the container using the following command:

docker exec -it netdevops-nginx /bin/bash

cloud_user@ed26757f4b1c:~/network-automation/document$ docker exec -it netdevops-nginx /bin/bash
root@e303ddfbbdea:/usr/share/nginx/html# ls
50x.html  Dockerfile  ansible.cfg  css  document.yaml  hosts  index.html  template.docx  template.html.j2
root@e303ddfbbdea:/usr/share/nginx/html# pwd
/usr/share/nginx/html
root@e303ddfbbdea:/usr/share/nginx/html#

Type exit to logout of the container

If you opted to configure SAMBA

Open the text files on the Samba Share.

This is where all the config files have been stored.

\\a.b.c.d\share\backup\2023-10-06

Replace a.b.c.d with your IP address and use the correct folder

At this point, you automated the backup, configuration and documentation of 5 Arista switches.

Stage 2.3 - Ansible

Stage 2 Ansible Basics

Estimated time to complete: 45 minutes

In Stage 2, we will discuss Ansible basics.

We will run through some of the commands and concepts to better understand Ansible.

Utilizing Ansible to configure network devices in minutes.

Allows us to easily deploy and test changes prior to releasing it to production.

Here are the requirements for Stage 2

Here is a diagram of Stage 2. This shows all the technology we will be using in Stage 2.

It also defines the use cases we will be working on in Stage 2.

Here is a summary of Stage 2

Let’s try Ansible on Server 1

Change Directory to the following

Run the build Ansible playbook which will create a folder of today’s date

After running the ls command notice the new folder based on the date

So what are we trying to accomplish…​..

We need to get configurations on the switches, make changes, validate the changes and then test the changes

To start let’s automate the following with Ansible:

Let’s Add A Configuration To The Switches

Run the build Ansible playbook and beware of the error. This is to be expected.

Install the arista_eos module

Run the playbook again

Login to a Leaf switch and check out the routing table and the running configuration

Both the username and password are admin

Let’s Backup the Switch Configurations

Change Directory to the following:

Run the build Ansible playbook

Check out the configurations in the dated directory

Let’s Document The Devices with Ansible

Change Directory to the following

This playbook will create a custom index.html file with the ansible facts provided from the switches

Run the build Ansible playbook

Now that we created the custom index.html file

We need to create a Web Server

Lets build a Docker container and use Nginx as the Web Server

Lets review the Dockerfile in the document folder

This is a basic Dockerfile to use the latest version of Nginx to copy the files from the document folder to the /usr/share/nginx/html directory in the new container.

We need to first build the custom docker container using the following command:

Run the following command to list the docker images

Now let’s run the docker image on port 80 using the following command:

Run the following command to see all the containters running on Server 1

Open a Web Browser and go to the FQDN of Server 1

If you want to troubleshoot the container

Login to the console of the container using the following command:

If you opted to configure SAMBA

Open the text files on the Samba Share.

This is where all the config files have been stored.

\\a.b.c.d\share\backup\2023-10-06

End Result

At this point, you automated the backup, configuration and documentation of 5 Arista switches.

So what are we trying to accomplish…..
