Network automation basics: Resource modules

Lab Objective: Demonstration use of Ansible Resource Modules on network infrastructure

Ansible network resource modules simplify and standardize how you manage different network devices. Network devices separate configuration into sections (such as interfaces and VLANs) that apply to a network service.

This exercise will cover:

  • Configuring SNMP on Cisco IOS

  • Building an Ansible Playbook using the cisco.ios.snmp_server module.

  • Understanding the state: merged

  • Understanding the state: gathered
