This is a demo repository of the Ansible roles for management of 6WIND Turbo Router via NETCONF/YANG

Automation of 6WIND Turbo Router

This repository contains the Ansible Roles to automate the configuration of 6WINF Turbo Router network function relying on the NETCONF/YANG framework for device configuration and NetBox as a source of truth

Use Cases

• Creation of VRFs
• Creation of interfaces and mapping them to VRFs
• Creation of IP addresses and mapping them to interfaces
• Creation of BGP configuration

Environment

The development environment has following components

• Ansible Core 2.11.*
• Netbox 3.0.*

Hosts

Options to limite the hosts scope:

• device_roles_XXX, where XXX is a device role slug from NetBox (e.g., device_roles_dci).
• sites_XXX, where XXX is a site slug slug from NetBox (e.g., sites_ams3).

Usage

There are two main use cases:

• Data collection, which you can write then in your target system (e.g., NetBox or Monitoring system).
• Change of network function's state, which is based on the information from NetBox in our case.

Preparation

1. Create the environment file .env out of sample_env:

$ cp sample_env .env

2. Fill in .env with information per setup.
3. Make th file execuable

$ chmod 775 .env

4. Source the paramters from the created file:

$ . .env

Interaction with 6WIND Turbo Router

To collect YANG modules from 6WIND network devices:

$ ansible-playbook collector.yaml -t yang

To collect the operational data from 6WIND network devices:

$ ansible-playbook collector.yaml -t state

To collect the configuration from 6WIND network devices:

$ ansible-playbook collector.yaml -t config

To configure the non-customer part (main VRF, base system, etc ) in 6WIND network devices:

$ ansible-playbook configurator.yaml -t infrastructure

To configure the customer part (main VRF, interfaces, VRRP, BGP, etc) in 6WIND network devices:

$ ansible-playbook configurator.yaml -t customer -e "target_vrf=XXX"

where XXX is the name of customer's VRF in NetBox
