community.network.exos_facts – Collect facts from devices running Extreme EXOS

Note

This plugin is part of the community.network collection (version 1.3.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.network.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.network.exos_facts.


Synopsis

  • Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running EXOS. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with ansible_net_<fact>. The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

gather_network_resources

list / elements=string

When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all and the resources like interfaces, vlans etc. Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. Values can also be used with an initial ! to specify that a specific subset should not be collected. Valid subsets are 'all', 'lldp_global'.

gather_subset

list / elements=string

Default:

["!config"]

When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all, hardware, config, and interfaces. Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. Values can also be used with an initial ! to specify that a specific subset should not be collected.



Notes

Note

  • Tested against EXOS 22.5.1.7
