aos-wlan-ansible-role
=====================

This Ansible Network role provides a set of platform dependent configuration management modules specifically designed for the ArubaOS (AOS) Mobility Master and Standalone Controllers.

Requirements
------------

* Python 2.7 or 3.5+
* Ansible 2.8.1 or later
* Minimum supported AOS firmware version 8.0

Installation
------------

Through Github, use the following command. Use option `-f` to overwrite current role version:

```
ansible-galaxy install git+https://github.com/aruba/aos-wlan-ansible-role.git
```

Through Galaxy:

```
ansible-galaxy install arubanetworks.aos_wlan_role
```

Inventory Variables
--------------

The variables that should be defined in your inventory for your AOS host are:

* `ansible_host`: IP address of controller in `A.B.C.D` format
* `ansible_user`: Username for controller in `plaintext` format
* `ansible_password`: Password for controller in `plaintext` format
* `ansible_connection`: Must always be set to `httpapi`
* `ansible_network_os`: Must always be set to `aos`
* `ansible_httpapi_port`: Must always be set to `4343`
* `ansible_httpapi_use_ssl`: Set `True` as AOS uses port 4343 for REST
* `ansible_httpapi_validate_certs`: Set `True` or `False` depending on if Ansible should attempt to validate certificates

### Sample Inventories:

Sample `inventory.yml`:

```yaml
all:
hosts:
controller:
ansible_host: 10.1.1.1
ansible_user: admin
ansible_password: password
ansible_connection: httpapi
ansible_network_os: aos
ansible_httpapi_port: 4343
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: True
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: True
```

Sample `inventory.ini`:

```ini
