Let's say I have two groups of devices to configure, eos-group and
junos-group.
Let's focus on junos-group.
I have 10 devices in the junos-group.
Each device will be configured with a mgmt ip, hostname, interface, routes
...etc
Inside of /etc/ansible/host_vars/, I could create different files for each
host: hostname1.yaml, hostname2.yaml ....
However, this doesn't. scale, does it?
Can I just create one file (lets call it all_junos_hosts.yaml) inside
/etc/ansible/host_vars/, and inside of t his single file, I'll use
hierarchical structure to define variables for different hosts?
E.g: my *all_junos_hosts.yaml* file will look like this:
10.10.10.10:
hostname: hostname1
data_nexthop: 10.10.10.1
interfaces:
mgmt_interface:
name: em0
ip: 10.10.10.10:
12.12.12.12:
hostname: hostname2
data_nexthop: 12.12.12.1
interfaces:
mgmt_interface:
name: em0
ip: 12.12.12.12
I read somewhere that if I create a file called all_junos_hosts.yaml inside
of /etc/ansible/host_vars/, ansible will think there is a host called
all_junos_hosts.yaml.
How do I get around this?
Basically all I want to do is, in my template, I'll do something like *set
interfaces management "{{ reference for mgmt interface for this host }}*"
... etc
