os_router - Create or delete routers from OpenStack

New in version 2.0.

Synopsis

  • Create or Delete routers from OpenStack. Although Neutron allows routers to share the same name, this module enforces name uniqueness to be more user friendly.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.7
  • shade

Options

parameter required default choices comments
admin_state_up
 no True
Desired admin state of the created or existing router.
api_timeout
 no None
How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth
 no
Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type
 no password
Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone
 no
Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
cacert
 no None
A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
cert
 no None
A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.
cloud
 no
Named cloud to operate against. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
enable_snat
 no True
Enable Source NAT (SNAT) attribute.
endpoint_type
 no public
  • public
  • internal
  • admin
Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.
external_fixed_ips
 no None
The IP address parameters for the external gateway network. Each is a dictionary with the subnet name or ID (subnet) and the IP address to assign on the subnet (ip). If no IP is specified, one is automatically assigned from that subnet.
interfaces
 no None
List of subnets to attach to the router internal interface.
key
 no None
A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
name
 yes
Name to be give to the router
network
 no None
Unique name or ID of the external gateway network.
required interfaces or enable_snat are provided.
project
(added in 2.2)
 no None
Unique name or ID of the project.
region_name
 no
Name of the region.
state
 no present
  • present
  • absent
Indicate desired state of the resource
timeout
 no 180
How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs
 no
Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before 2.3 this defaulted to True.
aliases: verify
wait
 no yes
  • yes
  • no
Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Examples

# Create a simple router, not attached to a gateway or subnets.
- os_router:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: present
    name: simple_router

# Create a simple router, not attached to a gateway or subnets for a given project.
- os_router:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: present
    name: simple_router
    project: myproj

# Creates a router attached to ext_network1 on an IPv4 subnet and one
# internal subnet interface.
- os_router:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: present
    name: router1
    network: ext_network1
    external_fixed_ips:
      - subnet: public-subnet
        ip: 172.24.4.2
    interfaces:
      - private-subnet

# Update existing router1 external gateway to include the IPv6 subnet.
# Note that since 'interfaces' is not provided, any existing internal
# interfaces on an existing router will be left intact.
- os_router:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: present
    name: router1
    network: ext_network1
    external_fixed_ips:
      - subnet: public-subnet
        ip: 172.24.4.2
      - subnet: ipv6-public-subnet
        ip: 2001:db8::3

# Delete router1
- os_router:
    cloud: mycloud
    state: absent
    name: router1

Notes

Note

  • The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
  • Auth information is driven by os-client-config, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
