Configuring Ethernet Switches (S3 and S4 series)

• Edit the network/ethernet_tor_input.yml file for all S3* and S4* PowerSwitches such as S3048-ON, S4048T-ON, S4112F-ON, S4048-ON, S4048T-ON, S4112F-ON, S4112T-ON, and S4128F-ON.

Name	Default, accepted values	Required?	Purpose
os10_config	“interface vlan1” “exit”	required	Global configurations for the switch.
snmp_trap_destination		optional	The trap destination IP address is the IP address of the SNMP Server where the trap will be sent. Ensure that the SNMP IP is valid.
snmp_community_string	public	optional	An SNMP community string is a means of accessing statistics stored within a router or other device.
ethernet 1/1/(1-52) config	By default: Port description is provided. Each interface is set to “up” state. The fanout/breakout mode for 1/1/1 to 1/1/52 is as per the value set in the breakout_value variable.	required	By default, all ports are brought up in admin UP state
			Update the individual interfaces of the Dell PowerSwitch SS3048-ON. The interfaces are from ethernet 1/1/1 to ethernet 1/1/52. By default, the breakout mode is set for 1/1/1 to 1/1/52. Note: The playbooks will fail if any invalid configurations are entered.
save_changes_to_startup	false	required	Change it to “true” only when you are certain that the updated configurations and commands are valid. WARNING: When set to “true”, the startup configuration file is updated. If incorrect configurations or commands are entered, the Ethernet switches may not operate as expected.

• When initializing a factory reset switch, the user needs to ensure DHCP is enabled and an IPv6 address is not assigned.

Running the playbook:

cd network

ansible-playbook ethernet_switch_config.yml -i inventory -e ethernet_switch_username=”” -e ethernet_switch_password=””

• Where ethernet_switch_username is the username used to authenticate into the switch.

• The inventory file should be a list of IPs separated by newlines. Check out the switch_inventory section in Sample Files

• Where ethernet_switch_password is the password used to authenticate into the switch.
