Installing this collection

You can install the FRR collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install frr.frr

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it with ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:
  - name: frr.frr

Using this collection

You can call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), such as frr.frr.frr_bgp. The following example task replaces configuration changes in the existing configuration on a FRR network device, using the FQCN:

---
  - name: configure global bgp as 64496
    frr.frr.frr_bgp:
      config:
        bgp_as: 64496
        router_id: 192.0.2.1
        log_neighbor_changes: True
        neighbors:
          - neighbor: 192.51.100.1
            remote_as: 64497
            timers:
              keepalive: 120
              holdtime: 360
          - neighbor: 198.51.100.2
            remote_as: 64498
        networks:
          - prefix: 192.0.2.0
            masklen: 24
            route_map: RMAP_1
          - prefix: 198.51.100.0
            masklen: 24
        address_family:
          - afi: ipv4
            safi: unicast
            redistribute:
              - protocol: ospf
                id: 223
                metric: 10
      operation: merge

Alternately, you can call modules by their short name if you list the frr.frr collection in the playbook's collections, as follows:

---
- hosts: frr01
  gather_facts: false
  connection: network_cli

  collections:
    - frr.frr

  tasks:
    - name: Collect all facts from the device
      frr_facts:
        gather_subset: all
