Dell Switch
===========
This role configures Dell switches using the `dellos6` or `dellos9` Ansible
modules. It provides a fairly minimal abstraction of the configuration
interface provided by the `dellos` modules, allowing for application of
arbitrary switch configuration options.
Requirements
------------
The switches should be configured to allow SSH access.
Role Variables
--------------
`dell_switch_delegate_to` is the host on which to execute the `dellos` Ansible
modules.
`dell_switch_type` is the type of Dell switch. One of `dellos6`, `dellos9`.
`dell_switch_provider` is authentication provider information passed as the
`provider` argument to the `dellos` modules.
`dell_switch_config` is a list of configuration lines to apply to the switch,
and defaults to an empty list.
`dell_switch_interface_config` contains interface configuration. It is a dict
mapping switch interface names to configuration dicts. Each dict may contain
the following items:
- `description` - a description to apply to the interface.
- `config` - a list of per-interface configuration.
Dependencies
------------
None
Example Playbook
----------------
The following playbook configures hosts in the `dellos9-switches` group.
It assumes host variables for each switch holding the host, username and
passwords. It applies global configuration for LLDP, and enables two
10G ethernet interfaces as switchports.
