Config multiple devices

[Tcpip]

hi all,

I have to configure multiple devices with different configurations, how can I run a single playbook and separate the configurations for each device?

thanks.

Hi Juraj.

I think, you might need to create standard role structure with something like this:

yourrole/

     tasks/

        main.yml

        hostname1.yml

        hostname2.yml

        hostnameN.yml

     files/

        hostname1.config

        hostname2.config

        hostnameN.config

     templates/

        hostname1.yml.j2

        hostname2.yml.j2

        hostnameN.yml.j2

In proposed structure only tasks/main.yml file is necessary.

Other files may depends on your needs and might not be included.

In tasks/main.yml you may use something like this:

- name: Copy configuration for host

  copy:

    src: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

    dest: /destination_folder_of your config

    backup: yes

    force: no

or this:

- name: Copy template for host

  template:

    src: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

    dest: /destination_folder_of your config

    backup: yes

    force: no

or this:

- name: Import task with host-specific configuration

  import_tasks: "{{ inventory_hostname }}.yml"

This is only example describe one of many possible options, without additional details.

Configuration may depends not on hostname, but on other facts, defined by setup module.

Hope it will helps. If you'll need additional details, feel free to ask and attach please some additional details of necessary configuration.
