Hi,

Could you please confirm the below query,

Can we define non-configurable attributes in the NRM model ?
- if Yes, how do we achieve the same.
- If No, is NRM scope is restricted only to configurable attributes ?

Thanks in advance,

Anees Fathima

Hi,

Thanks for your response.
I have few links to share what Ansible Network Resource Module(NRM) is?

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/dev_guide/developing_resource_modules_network.html
Juniper's NRM - https://github.com/ansible-collections/junipernetworks.junos
https://www.ansible.com/hubfs/Ansible%20Automates%20Slide%20Decks/Ansible%20Automates%20NYC%20-%20Ansible%20Network%20Automation%20Resource%20Modules.pdf

Hope, this information will help.

Thanks in Advance,

Anees Fathima

Hi

I came across this email while searching for the same thing. In particular, we are considering the interface speed using a network resource module. Speed in the resource module appears to be the configured speed, which can take on the value Auto, and this is the default. What we are wondering is whether the module should or is allowed to have a variable which is actual negotiated speed. This would act as a non-settable value. Most of the references I can find talk only about configuration data with respect to network resource modules.

Any pointers to examples where Ansible deals with non-configuration data would be appreciated.
