https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/30767 This is 1 module out of roughly 20 that I am looking to contribute. My IRC name is Gesha24

Response

In alignment with other module submissions of this type, and based on discussions with members of the core team, and what is available as documentation here within the review, we are going to decline accepting this pull request.

The primary driver is that it is an arbitrary API module, that has no definable argument spec.

Each module should typically interact with one set of functionality. Should you decide to break this module up into individual components that deal with one set of functionalities with the API that have an explicitly defined argument spec, we would be happy to re-review.

[gundalow]

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/31202

Should we add cdp information to the lldp fact, since it is basically the same. We could add an attribute source in ansible_net_neighbors with value cdp/lldp ?

This is a bug fix on cnos util module. This has to be backported to 2.5 as well.

Thank You.

[acozine]

Clarifying terminology for network-engine role. Background:
We've used the word “parser” to describe the file with the matching rules, the module that does the matching, and the combination of the two. We're working to clarify the usage and make the modules in network-engine easier to understand and use. See https://github.com/ansible-network/network-engine/issues/65.

Here I am modifiying cnos_facts, cnos_command to align with how it is done for other vendors. In addition to this I am adding cnos_config also. Here I am using persistent connection. Therefore all the three plugins are also introduced for this purpose viz. action, cliconf and terminal plugins. The documentation snippet in util is brought into each module documentation as they differ here. module_util/cnos.py is added with all methods that are required for this. Added unit test for each of them. In addition to that i have removed few errors from the ignore.txt as they have been addressed here

Please review and merge

Thank You.

ansible/ansible#40218
Starting with our recent CNOS release version 10.7, we have moved certain CLI keywords to match with Industry Standard CLI (ISCLI) keywords. For backward compatibility, old CLI keywords will continue to work for next one or two CNOS releases with a condition that “command acronyms” of old CLI keywords, cannot be used. For eg: Use “display version” instead of “disp ver”. This PR is to expand the acronymns if they are present in the python code

This has to be backported to 2.5 as well.

Merged into devel and cherry-picked for release in 2.5.3

[amuraleedhar]

Please merge the PR

• Discuss inclusion of 2.7 backport of Python's ipaddress.py module for usage in F5 modules. Backport is here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phihag/ipaddress/master/ipaddress.py

Same license terms would be included as seen in Ansible's ismount code found here
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/6787fc70a643fb6e2bdd2c6a6202072d21db72ef/lib/ansible/module_utils/ismount.py#L7

F5 wants to do this for the following reason

• remove the netaddr dependency in several of its modules.

The reason for this is the current implementation in the modules places a dependency that must be met in Ansible (in the form of tests) and met by F5's customers (remembering to install netaddr). This second issue leads to more support requests, which are unnecessary, because this dependency can be removed.

The requested code to include, is provided natively in Python 3.x. This code would be used as a shim until such time as,

• Python 3.x is considered "normal" across the Ansible user community
• Python 3.x is considered "normal" across the F5 community which uses Ansible.
• Python 2.x development ceases https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/

I think that based off of the pre-existing work in Ansible, and the known GPL-compatibility of the PSF and GPL3, that this should be a non-issue provided that the ipaddress.py code is clearly documented as such (and that that license does not extend beyond the ipaddress.py file.

There is existing work in Ansible's module utils to support rudimentary IP address work. F5 needs the enhanced library to support IP networks in addition to the existing IP addresses.

This module utility would only be included in F5's module_utils directory; not the larger network/common or its sub dirs. Other module authors using this module_util would assume the risk of it being removed per the bullets mentioned above.

Agreed but punted to tomorrow's core meeting due to licensing issue @Qalthos
This was approved by core on 2018-06-21 @caphrim007

Ansible 2.6.0 final is now available
See
From a network point view
Connection Plugins

• httpapi - New connection method that simplifies connections to platform-specific APIs such as Arista eAPI and Cisco NXAPI. This method replaces connection: local with connection: httpapi and then specifying the specific platform via the ansible_network_os variable.

Modules

• net_get - downloads a large config file to target network device with SCP/SFTP
• net_put - copies a large config file to target network device with SCP/SFTP
• netconf_get - fetches the configuration and state data from remote NETCONF enabled network device/host
• netconf_rpc - executes generic NETCONF RPC commands that are defined by NETCONF standard as well as proprietary RPC-based NETCONF capabilities supported by the remote network device/host

General

• There will be an Ansible 2.6 blog post soon with more details and links in.
• Various updates have been made to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/
• For more information on the connection types see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_index.html
• For changelog and porting guide please see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-devel/P5KPevGGlmE

In this PR, I am moving the legacy code for ssh connectivity from Paramiko to persistent connection of Ansible for cnos_bgp, cnos_factory, cnos_reload, cnos_save, and cnos_showrun module. Along with this I am trying to take care of the new CLIs introuduced for CNOS. And I have added UT codes for this module. This done exactly in line with PR#42500. This code has been tested on a CNOS Bacon switch. Edited cnos_bgp to move code from cnos.py in Util folder to module code itself. This was done based on one review comment that cnos.py is too large and Qalthos suggested to move its code from util file to module file. Tested it too

Please see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-devel/ivrpVbLya8g for further info

Attending in person

We realize that not everybody can attend in person, which is why we’ll again be arranging a video conference and a meeting time on IRC in #ansible-meeting to encourage remote participation. This has worked very well for the past Contributor Summits. We’ll be sending out an email with the information for remote participation about a week before the Contributor Summit.

If you want to attend in-person please sign up at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ansible-contributor-conference-austin-2018-tickets-48557063484

After signing up you'll receive an email from Eventbrite with a discount code for AnsibleFest Austin.

CLIs used in cnos_facts, cnos_command, its UT test modules and few CLI template files are in old format. This is getting corrected to new CLI format. Though we are having backward compatibility for this CLIs, it will get deprecated from 10.9 onwards. So we want to change them all to new CLI. Hence this PR is.
Please merge this so that Customers will have all latest CLI experience.

Hi, now that 2.7.0 is soon to be out I've created a fresh agenda.

Please subscribe to #363

[dagwieers]

As being discussed at AnsibleFest 2018, we would like to learn how we can extend httpapi with (very) specific needs for different connection methods (all different types of REST), for Cisco this is different technologies like IMC, UCS, ACI, MSC, Tetration, ...

One problem is the lack of documentation or code annotations that help understand how we ought to extend it. The second problem is that by extending the httpapi framework you may break the original use-cases without the ability to test.

So the easiest path is everybody does their own implementation, but even for Cisco only there's a benefit of having a single framework.
