EXAMPLE PULL REQUEST

ansible/ansible#40021

All I did for the ios_l3_interface module was add this example to the documentation after testing it on my own Cisco switch

- name: Set interface Vlan1 (SVI) IPv4 address
  ios_l3_interface:
    name: Vlan1
    ipv4: 192.168.0.5/24

Validation

To make sure you're adding a valid new example for the platform you've selected, you must use your new example in a playbook and your pull request must include:

• the output of the playbook
• the output of the relevant show command on the network device so we know the playbook was actually executed

For the example above, here's a playbook:

➜  ansible-napalm-samples git:(master) ✗ ansible-playbook test.yml

PLAY [arista] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Set interface Vlan1 (SVI) IPv4 address] ************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [eos]

PLAY RECAP ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
eos                        : ok=1    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0

Here's the proof that it ran properly:

eos#sh run int vlan1
interface Vlan1
  ip address 192.168.0.5/24

I'm new to ansible .... I'm confused from where to start?
Should I learn hardcore concepts of ansible for contributing too this?

[LindsayHill]

@himanshuawasthi95 if you're new to Ansible, then I would suggest just start with learning that first. Come back to this a little later.

You don't need to know a lot about detailed Ansible to contribute to this, but it will be a distraction from learning Ansible up front. Cover that first.
