author: Nathaniel Case (@Qalthos)
short_description: Manage VyOS configuration on remote device
description:
- This module provides configuration file management of VyOS devices. It provides
arguments for managing both the configuration file and state of the active configuration.
All configuration statements are based on `set` and `delete` commands in the device
configuration.
version_added: 1.0.0
extends_documentation_fragment:
- vyos.vyos.vyos
notes:
- Tested against VyOS 1.3.8, 1.4.2, the upcoming 1.5, and the rolling release of spring 2025.
- This module works with connection C(ansible.netcommon.network_cli). See L(the VyOS OS Platform Options,../network/user_guide/platform_vyos.html).
- To ensure idempotency and correct diff the configuration lines in the relevant module options should be similar to how they
appear if present in the running configuration on device including the indentation.
- C(replace=config) currently has no way to scope its effect to part of the
configuration; it always operates against the entire device configuration.
There is no C(path) parameter to constrain it to a subtree.
options:
lines:
description:
- The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. The commands
must be the exact same commands as found in the device running-config as found in the
device running-config to ensure idempotency and correct diff. Be sure
to note the configuration command syntax as some commands are automatically
modified by the device config parser.
- Not supported when C(replace) is set to C(config) -- see C(replace) below.
type: list
elements: str
src:
description:
- The C(src) argument specifies the path to the source config file to load. The
source config file can either be in bracket format or set format. The source
file can include Jinja2 template variables. The configuration lines in the source
file should be similar to how it will appear if present in the running-configuration
of the device including indentation to ensure idempotency and correct diff.
- When C(replace) is set to C(config), C(src) is required and must contain a
complete configuration in hierarchical/bracket format -- the same format
produced by C(show configuration) or found in C(/config/config.boot). Flat
C(set)/C(delete) command format (as produced by C(show configuration
commands)) is not accepted in that mode; VyOS's native C(load) command
rejects it with a parse error.
type: path
match:
description:
- The C(match) argument controls the method used to match against the current
active configuration. By default, the desired config is matched against the
active config and the deltas are loaded. If the C(match) argument is set to
C(none), the active configuration is ignored and the configuration is always
loaded. If the C(match) argument is set to C(enforce), the supplied C(lines)
or C(src) are treated as the complete desired end-state of the configuration,
rather than a set of deltas to apply.
C(enforce) enforces only the top-level configuration
sections present in the supplied candidate as complete end-states;
existing configuration within those sections but not mentioned in the
candidate is removed, so C(enforce) can generate C(delete) commands for
configuration the candidate does not mention. Top-level sections the
candidate does not reference at all are left completely untouched.
C(enforce) is intended for candidates made up of C(set) commands only;
supplying C(delete) lines alongside C(match=enforce) is not supported
and will raise an error.
- Ignored when C(replace) is set to C(config), since no line-level diff is
computed in that mode.
type: str
default: line
choices:
- line
- enforce
- none
backup:
description:
- The C(backup) argument will backup the current devices active configuration
to the Ansible control host prior to making any changes. If the C(backup_options)
value is not given, the backup file will be located in the backup folder in
the playbook root directory or role root directory, if playbook is part of an
ansible role. If the directory does not exist, it is created.
type: bool
default: no
comment:
description:
- Allows a commit description to be specified to be included when the configuration
is committed. If the configuration is not changed or committed, this argument
is ignored.
default: configured by vyos_config
type: str
confirm:
description:
- The C(confirm) argument will tell vyos to revert to the previous configuration
if not explicitly confirmed after applying the new config. When set to C(automatic)
this module will automatically confirm the configuration, if the current session
remains working with the new config. When set to C(manual), this module does
not issue the confirmation itself.
- Defaults to C(automatic) when C(match) is set to C(enforce), since C(enforce)
can generate C(delete) commands for configuration not mentioned in the
candidate and a bad commit should self-revert rather than leave the device
unreachable. Defaults to C(none) for all other C(match) values.
type: str
choices:
- automatic
- manual
- none
confirm_timeout:
description:
- Minutes to wait for confirmation before reverting the configuration. Does
not apply when C(confirm) is set to C(none) .
type: int
default: 10
config:
description:
- The C(config) argument specifies the base configuration to use to compare against
the desired configuration. If this value is not specified, the module will
automatically retrieve the current active configuration from the remote device.
The configuration lines in the option value should be similar to how it
will appear if present in the running-configuration of the device including indentation
to ensure idempotency and correct diff.
- Ignored when C(replace) is set to C(config).
type: str
save:
description:
- The C(save) argument controls whether or not changes made to the active configuration
are saved to disk. This is independent of committing the config. When set
to C(True), the active configuration is saved.
type: bool
default: no
backup_options:
description:
- This is a dict object containing configurable options related to backup file
path. The value of this option is read only when C(backup) is set to I(yes),
if C(backup) is set to I(no) this option will be silently ignored.
suboptions:
filename:
description:
- The filename to be used to store the backup configuration. If the filename
is not given it will be generated based on the hostname, current time and
date in format defined by _config.@
type: str
dir_path:
description:
- This option provides the path ending with directory name in which the backup
configuration file will be stored. If the directory does not exist it will
be first created and the filename is either the value of C(filename) or
default filename as described in C(filename) options description. If the
path value is not given in that case a I(backup) directory will be created
in the current working directory and backup configuration will be copied
in C(filename) within I(backup) directory.
type: path
type: dict
replace:
description:
- Controls how the module applies configuration to the device.
- When set to C(line) (default), the module computes a set/delete command
diff and pushes only the changed lines -- this is the existing behavior,
unchanged.
- When set to C(config), the module uploads the full candidate configuration
(C(src)) to the device and issues VyOS's native C(load) command in
configuration mode, which replaces the running configuration wholesale
with the candidate's exact contents. VyOS's own configuration engine
performs the reconciliation, rather than the module computing per-line
deltas. This mirrors the mechanism offered by C(cisco.iosxr.iosxr_config)'s
C(replace=config).
- C(replace=config) requires C(src) and does not accept C(lines) -- there is
no way to convert flat set/delete commands into the hierarchical form
C(load) requires without re-implementing VyOS's own config-tree builder.
- As with C(src) in the default C(line) mode, the module does not validate
the candidate's contents or format under C(replace=config) -- supplying a
well-formed, complete configuration is the caller's responsibility.
- C(replace=config) requires the device to accept file transfer (SCP) over
the same C(network_cli) SSH session used for configuration commands.
- C(replace=config) writes the candidate to a fixed path on the device
(overwritten on each run, matching C(cisco.iosxr.iosxr_config)'s own
C(replace=config) precedent). Running C(replace=config) concurrently
against the same host is not supported.
- Any configuration present on the device but omitted from the candidate
will be removed, including management interfaces, SSH access, and login
users if they are omitted. Always supply a complete configuration, never
a partial one.
- When capturing a candidate from the device's own output (for example
via C(show configuration)) rather than from a trusted, separately
maintained source, be aware that VyOS may return masked placeholder
values (for example a run of literal asterisks) in place of local
users' C(encrypted-password)/C(plaintext-password) values when queried
through automation, even though the identical command returns the real
value when typed interactively at a terminal. Pushing a masked capture
back through C(replace=config) sends the literal placeholder as the new
password value; VyOS's own commit-time validation is expected to reject
an obviously malformed hash, but a masked value that happens to pass
basic format validation could apply silently. Prefer sourcing
C(replace=config) candidates from a trusted, version-controlled
artifact rather than a live automated capture whenever the
configuration contains local password-based users.
- Even under C(check_mode), the candidate is written to a temporary file on
the device so that VyOS's own C(compare) can produce an accurate preview
diff. No C(commit) occurs in check mode.
- When combined with C(backup=yes), the value of C(changed) reflects
whether the backup file's content changed on the Ansible control node,
not whether the device configuration changed -- this is existing
behavior in the shared netcommon action plugin backing config-family
modules across collections, not specific to C(replace=config).
type: str
default: line
choices:
- line
- config
allow_password_change:
description:
- The C(allow_password_change) argument specifies whether any configuration lines which
would change a user's password should be filtered out. By default only plaintext
password changes are allowed and any encrypted-password keys are filtered out. In
order to allow all password updates, both plaintext and encrypted, set this argument
to C(all).
- Not applied when C(replace) is set to C(config); the candidate is loaded
as-is via VyOS's native C(load), which has no equivalent filtering
mechanism.
type: str
default: plaintext
choices:
- all
- plaintext
- encrypted
- none

# "No changes between working and active configurations" with no

# - No special `replace=` argument threaded through load_config()/

# flow already implemented in Cliconf.edit_config(), unmodified.
#
