I'm using the src parameter of nxos_config to enter several configuration
lines at once. When it detects that one of the lines differs from the
running configuration, does it push the entire block from the src file or
just the line that was different? Also is there any way to display the
line or lines that were updated in Ansible?
My test playbook looks like this:
---
- hosts: evpn_leaf
vars:
cli:
host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
username: admin
password: cisco
transport: cli
tasks:
- name: Send configuration commands from file to switch
nxos_config:
provider: "{{ cli }}"
src: config.txt
register: result
- name: Display the result of the task
debug: var=result verbosity=0
The config.txt file has these lines:
router eigrp 200
interface Ethernet1/48
description testing2
no switchport
ip address 1.1.1.1/24
router bgp 65000
Every time I run this, I get a changed result and configuration is
applied. I think the reason is that 'no switchport' is a default
configuration and does not appear in the running configuration on the
switch. In this case is Ansible just applying the 'no switchport' command,
or all of the config commands in the config.txt file? Is there any way
to display in Ansible the config lines that were applied?
Here is the output...
