Description

This module contains tasks that wrap the Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor (NAPALM) framework.

Setup

Setup Requirements

The target machine running the tasks needs to be a Linux machine. It needs to have the following packages installed before you can run the task:
RHEL/centos

  • epel-release
  • python
  • python-pip
  • python-devel
  • libxml2-devel
  • libxslt-devel
  • gcc
  • openssl
  • openssl-devel
  • libffi-devel

Ubuntu

  • libxslt1-dev
  • libssl-dev
  • libffi-dev
  • python-dev
  • python-cffi
  • python-pip

This module includes a install_dependencies task that will install all the above requirements for you.

Beginning with napalm

The very basic steps needed for a user to get the module up and running. This can include setup steps, if necessary, or it can be an example of the most basic use of the module.

Usage

This module contains 4 tasks:

  • install_dependencies - this will install the system depdendencies
  • call - make function calls to NAPALM
  • configure - configure network devices using a supplied config file
  • validate - validate network device configuration using a validation file

Do not run the task on the networking device itself. These tasks are meant to be run on a jump host. These tasks use virtualenv to create an isolated python environment. It will also put some files in the /tmp folder.

An example plan using all the tasks is included.
