This role facilitates configuring virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) attributes. It supports the creation of VRRP groups for interfaces and setting the VRRP group attributes. This role is abstracted for dellos9.

The VRRP role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC Networking device. You can use any of the built-in Dell EMC Networking OS connection variables.

ansible-galaxy install Dell-Networking.dellos-vrrp

• Role is abstracted using the ansible_network_os variable that can take the dellos9 value
• 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
• dellos_vrrp (dictionary) holds a dictionary with the interface name key
• Interface name can correspond to any of the valid dellos interface with a unique interface identifier name
• Physical interfaces names must be in format (for example fortyGigE 1/1)
• Logical interface names must be in <logical_interfacename> format (for example, vlan 1 for dellos9)
• Variables and values are case-sensitive

NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.

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.

NOTE: Asterisk (*) denotes the default value if none is specified.

The dellos-vrrp 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-vrrp role to configure VRRP commands at the interfaces. 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-vrrp role.
