This role facilitates the configuration of authentication, authorization, and acccounting (AAA), and supports the configuration of RADIUS and TACACS servers. This role is abstracted for Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC OS6.
The AAA role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to Dell EMC OS6. You can use any of the built-in OS connection variables.
- Role is abstracted using the
ansible_network_os
variable that can takedellemc.os6.os6
as the value - If
os6_cfg_generate
is set to true, the variable generates the role configuration commands in a file - Any role variable with a corresponding state variable set to absent negates the configuration of that variable
- Setting an empty value for any variable negates the corresponding configuration
- Variables and values are case-sensitive

NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.
Ansible Dell EMC Networking roles require connection information to establish communication with the nodes in your inventory. This information can exist in the Ansible group_vars or host_vars directories or inventory, or in the playbook itself.
Key | Required | Choices | Description |
---|---|---|---|
ansible_host |
yes | Specifies the hostname or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport | |
ansible_port |
no | Specifies the port used to build the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_REMOTE_PORT option is used; it defaults to 22 |
|
ansible_ssh_user |
no | Specifies the username that authenticates the CLI login for the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER environment variable value is used |
|
ansible_ssh_pass |
no | Specifies the password that authenticates the connection to the remote device. | |
ansible_become |
no | yes, no* | Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_BECOME environment variable value is used, and the device attempts to execute all commands in non-privileged mode |
ansible_become_method |
no | enable, sudo* | Instructs the module to allow the become method to be specified for handling privilege escalation; if value is unspecified, the ANSIBLE_BECOME_METHOD environment variable value is used. |
ansible_become_pass |
no | Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device; if ansible_become is set to no this key is not applicable. |
|
ansible_network_os |
yes | os6, null* | This value is used to load the correct terminal and cliconf plugins to communicate with the remote device. |
NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.
This example uses the os6_aaa role to configure AAA for RADIUS and TACACS servers. It creates a hosts file with the switch details and corresponding variables. The hosts file should define the ansible_network_os
variable with the corresponding Dell EMC OS6 name.
When os6_cfg_generate
is set to true, the variable generates the configuration commands as a .part file in the build_dir path. By default, it is set to false and it writes a simple playbook that only references the os6_aaa role.
