This role facilitates the configuration quality of service (QoS) attributes like policy-map and class-map. This role is abstracted for dellos10 and dellos6. The QoS role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC Networking device. You can use any of the built-in OS connection variables .
ansible-galaxy install Dell-Networking.dellos-qos
- Role is abstracted using the ansible_network_os variable that can take a dellos10 and dellos6 values
- If dellos_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

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 | dellos6/dellos9/dellos10, null* | Loads the correct terminal and cliconf plugins to communicate with the remote device |
NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.
The dellos-qos role is built on modules included in the core Ansible code. These modules were added in Ansible version 2.2.0.
This example uses the dellos.dellos-qos role to configure the policy-map class-map. It creates a hosts file with the switch details and corresponding variables. The hosts file should define the ansible_network_os variable with corresponding Dell EMC networking OS name.
When dellos_cfg_generate is set to true, the variable generates the configuration commands as a .part file in build_dir path. By default, the variable is set to false. It writes a simple playbook that only references the dellos-qos role. By including the role, you automatically get access to all of the tasks to configure QoS features.
Sample hosts file
leaf1 ansible_host= <ip_address>
Sample host_vars/leaf1
hostname: leaf1
ansible_ssh_user: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_pass: xxxxx
ansible_network_os: dellos10
build_dir: ../temp/dellos10
dellos_qos:
policy_map:
- name: testpolicy
type: qos
state: present
class_map:
- name: testclass
type: application
state: present
Simple playbook to setup qos - leaf.yaml
- hosts: leaf1
roles:
- Dell-Networking.dellos-qos
Run
ansible-playbook -i hosts leaf.yaml
