Hi!

Cannot get this to work, help much appreciated. 

Switches I am testing it with are HP J9772A 2530-48G-PoEP. Software revision YA.16.06.0006.

Using following simple playbook. Second task works, but first doesn`t.

ilia@psg-ans01:~/ANS$ cat pb_test.yml

---

- hosts: all

  tasks:

    - name: Create VLAN 300

      arubaoss_vlan:

        command: config_vlan

        vlan_id: 300

        name: "vlan300"

    - name: Update Switch System Attributes

      arubaoss_system_attributes:

        hostname: "TestSW"

Error messages are as following:

ilia@psg-ans01:~/ANS$ ansible-playbook pb_test.yml -i inv_switch1.yml

switch1                    : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

I also tried all tasks from example files including others that use VLAN submodule. They work OK and I was able to delete test VLAN just fine.

Direct call(via browser) on http://192.168.1.11/rest/v5.0/vlans works:

{"collection_result":{"total_elements_count":1,"filtered_elements_count":1},"vlan_element":[{"uri":"/vlans/1","vlan_id":1,"name":"DEFAULT_VLAN","status":"VS_PORT_BASED","type":"VT_STATIC","is_voice_enabled":false,"is_jumbo_enabled":false,"is_dsnoop_enabled":false,"is_management_vlan":false}]}

PS: Tiffany - thanks for tutorials, carry on!

from the surface I can see the task is missing a line of code. I run the create vlan task as: 

tasks:
- name: Configure VLAN 10
arubaoss_vlan:
vlan_id: 10
name: "vlan10"
config: create
command: config_vlan

Thank you, Kelvinj. While comparing different examples available online I noticed that most of them have config parameter set, so I tried that as well. Unfortunately, it doesn`t fix things for me. Here is a clean run with nothing else to make sure:

root@psg-ans01:/home/ilia/ANS# cat pb_test.yml
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Create VLAN 30
arubaoss_vlan:
vlan_id: 30
name: "ddd"
config: "create"
command: config_vlan
root@psg-ans01:/home/ilia/ANS# ansible-playbook pb_test.yml -i inv_switch1.yml

Do you have check the rest debug log ?

There is no already a vlan ddd ?

Thanks, Alexis, good lead. Can see following output in logs:

...

0011:03:46:43.81 rest RestSrv-2:Method = GET, URI =
/rest/v5.0/vlans/params['vlan_id']
0011:03:46:43.81 rest RestSrv-2:status = 404, reason = Not Found

...

0011:03:46:43.98 rest RestSrv-2:Method = GET, URI = /rest/v5.0/vlans/30
0011:03:46:43.99 rest RestSrv-2:status = 404, reason = Not Found

...

It makes sence why second call is failing as there is no vlan 30. But what should I see as a responce to /rest/v5.0/vlans/params['vlan_id']? And where is a call to create vlan 30?

When I amd trying to browse to http://192.168.1.11:80/rest/v5.0/vlans/params['vlan_id'] I am getting same 404 error. 

When I am browsing to http://192.168.1.11:80/rest/v5.0/vlans I am getting following:

Switch has almost default config, so no vlan with name ddd or id 30:

What rest log when you try with ansible ?

do you have try to make a pcap capture ? (on the ansible server)

Do you have check the login/password ? (need to be connected to create a vlan)

Hi!

I believe the cause of your issue is due to Issue #10. This is due to the fact that the platform 2530 does not have the feature to allow for dhcp server to be enabled on a VLAN, therefore it rejects this data and the REST command fails.

I've pushed a temporary fix to the Github by commenting out that parameter. Please uninstall and reinstall the Aruba Switching Modules after executing a git pull in the cloned repo.

If you're in the aruba-ansible-modules directory, execute the following commands:

git pull

sudo python aos_wired_module_installer/aos_wired_module_installer.py -r

sudo python aos_wired_module_installer/aos_wired_module_installer.py 

Let me know if you're still seeing the issue :)

It works now!

Thanks!
