Hi Don,

Ansible 2.2 adds support for Dell OS6, OS9 (I believe this is the old
Force10 stuff) and OS10.  Please see the modules here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/tree/devel/network/dellos9

Creating modules is not difficult.  See here for details:
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/dev_guide/developing_modules.html

For non-API (ie CLI driven) devices, I would recommend that you use the
ios/* modules as a guide for how you can implemented modules for those
types of devices.

HTH,
Peter
