Salt-cumulus is a small salt state, providing an easy way to configure the configuration of a cumulus switch.
It provides a simple interface to apply net commands from a template.
It does not provide anything else for the moment. Most of others changes can be done via usual salt states.
This is a beta version. Use it at your own risk!
Simply run the following command on your switch:
pip install salt-cumulus
You can use in your sls files the following state:
test_config:
cumulus.managed:
- source: salt://config
Assuming the config file look like:
net add time ntp server ch.pool.ntp.org
The state will parse the lines in your templated file and run each command starting with net add or net del. Others elements are ignored, so you may add comments or other data as you like, but we suggest you starts comments with # .
Warning
Running this state will abort any pending configuration first: you should avoid using the net command at the same time!
