6. cisco config backup with ansible playbook

So far, in the course of Ansible for Cisco Network Engineers, we’ve seen Ansible being used in monitoring and troubleshooting with both raw modules and Cisco-specific modules. But Ansible’s power lies mostly in the ansible playbook. therefore from now on we will mainly be using Ansible playbooks. For our first example, we want to use an ansible playbook to get backups of Cisco devices (cisco config backup with ansible playbook).

5. introduction to cisco-specific Ansible Nework Modules

Welcome to the Ansible video training for network engineers, especially Cisco network engineers. Now we can work with Cisco-specific Ansible network modules. Therefore, in this part we will will look at ansible network modules and specifically with Cisco network modules. To work with these modules, let’s start monitoring Cisco devices with an ad hoc command, but using Cisco network modules instead of raw modules that we have run in previous videos. In the next few videos we will also cover configuring Cisco devices using these modules and the Ansible playbook.

4. Create Ansible Inventory YML Format

Welcome to the Ansible video training for network engineers, especially Cisco network engineers. In the last video we configured ansible configuration file as well as inventory file. The format of our last inventory file was the INI format. There is also another format called YAML or YML which is more readable and may be required depending on the version of ansible or module. It is therefore a good idea to learn how to create an inventory file in Yaml format, which is the subject of this video (Ansible Inventory YML Format).

3. Ansible basic Configuration

Welcome to the Ansible video training for network engineers, especially Cisco network engineers. In the last video we installed Ansible with both Python 2 and Python 3. However, before we start using Ansible for network automation, there is one more step we need to take to prepare Ansible. That is preparing ansible Configuration and Inventory file which we’re talking about in this video (Ansible basic Configuration and creating Inventory File ini Format).

2. Install Ansible on Debian

Welcome to the Ansible video training for network engineers, especially Cisco network engineers. In the last video we saw the real application of Ansible in monitoring and troubleshooting. Hope you get a good feel for Ansible when you can monitor and manage many devices at the same time. In this part we are going to install the latest version of ansible on Debian machine (debian install ansible).

1. anisble adhoc comands for network monitoring and troubleshooting

Welcome to the new Ansible video training for network engineers, especially Cisco network engineers. Before you begin installing and configuring Ansible, the first step may be better to see Ansible in action to get a better feel for it. Because of this, in this step we are going to see Ansible’s practical application in network monitoring and troubleshooting. or better to say anisble adhoc comands for network monitoring troubleshooting.
