About

Basic playbook to test and understand AVD L3LS EVPN Role

Execute lab

1. Use Ansible to Generate YAML Structured Configuration and Fabric Documentation

# Go to the lab08 directory
$ $ cd ../lab08-avd-l3ls-evpn

# Run playbook to generate the required folders
$ ansible-playbook playbook.create.folders.yml

# Run playbook to generate the structured configuration (YAML files) and the fabric documentation
$ ansible-playbook playbook.build.structured.yml

# Check the playbook and identify the use of AVD collection in the playbook as well as the specific AVD role
$ more playbook.build.structured.yml

# Check the rendered structured configuration
$ ls intended/structured_configs
$ more intended/structured_configs/DC1-SPINE1.yml
$ more intended/structured_configs/DC1-LEAF1A.yml

# Check the rendered Fabric documentation
$ ls documentation/DC1_FABRIC/
$ more documentation/DC1_FABRIC/DC1_FABRIC.md

2. Understand the Fabric Description Structure

# Modify the IP range used for the VTEP VXLAN Tunnel source loopbacks
# Change "vtep_loopback_network_summary" value in group_vars/DC1_FABRIC.yml
$ vi group_vars/DC1_FABRIC.yml

# Run playbook to generate the structured configuration files with IP changes
$ ansible-playbook playbook.build.structured.yml

# Verify the change in structured files under loopback_interfaces
$ more intended/structured_configs/DC1-LEAF1A.yml

Add a server to the Fabric:

• Server03
• Part of TENANT_B
• In RackB
• Connected on port Ethernet 8 of switch DC1-LEAF1A

$ vi group_vars/DC1_SERVERS.yml
# Add the following lines:

  server03:
    rack: RackB
    adapters:
      - type: nic
        server_ports: [Eth0]
        switch_ports: [Ethernet8]
        switches: [DC1-LEAF1A]
        profile: TENANT_B

# Run playbook to generate the structured configuration files with the new addition
$ ansible-playbook playbook.build.structured.yml

# Check the newly rendered structured configuration files and documentation
