Prefix-list role
================
This role facilitates the configuration of a prefix-list. It supports the configuration of an IP prefix-list, and assigns the prefix-list to line terminals. This role is abstracted for Dell EMC PowerSwitch platforms running Dell EMC OS9.
The prefix-list role requires an SSH connection for connectivity to a Dell EMC OS9 device. You can use any of the built-in OS connection variables.
Role variables
--------------
- Role is abstracted using the `ansible_network_os` variable that can take `dellemc.os9.os9` as the value
- If `os9_cfg_generate` set to true, the variable generates the role configuration commands in a file
- Any role variable with a corresponding state variable set to absent negates the configuration of that variable
- Setting an empty value for any variable negates the corresponding configuration
- Variables and values are case-sensitive
**os9_prefix_list keys**
| Key | Type | Description | Support |
|------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| ``type`` | string (required): ipv4,ipv6 | Configures an L3 (IPv4/IPv6) prefix-list | os9 |
| ``name`` | string (required) | Configures the prefix-list name | os9 |
| ``description`` | string | Configures the prefix-list description | os9 |
| ``entries`` | list | Configures rules in the prefix-list (see ``seqlist.*``) | os9 |
| ``entries.number`` | int (required) | Specifies the sequence number of the prefix-list rule | os9 |
| ``entries.permit`` | boolean (required): true,false | Specifies the rule to permit packets if set to true, and specifies to reject packets if set to false | os9 |
| ``entries.net_num`` | string (required) | Specifies the network number | os9 |
| ``entries.mask`` | string (required) | Specifies the mask | os9 |
| ``entries.condition_list`` | list | Configures conditions to filter packets (see ``condition_list.*``)| os9 |
| ``condition_list.condition`` | list | Specifies the condition to filter packets from the source address | os9 |
| ``condition_list.prelen`` | string (required) | Specifies the allowed prefix length | os9 |
| ``entries.state`` | string: absent,present\* | Deletes the rule from the prefix-list if set to absent | os9 |
| ``state`` | string: absent,present\* | Deletes the prefix-list if set to absent | os9 |
> **NOTE**: Asterisk (\*) denotes the default value if none is specified.
Connection variables
--------------------
Ansible Dell EMC network roles require connection information to establish communication with the nodes in your inventory. This information can exist in the Ansible *group_vars* or *host_vars* directories, or inventory or in the playbook itself.
| Key | Required | Choices | Description |
|-------------|----------|------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| ``ansible_host`` | yes | | Specifies the hostname or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport |
| ``ansible_port`` | no | | Specifies the port used to build the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the `ANSIBLE_REMOTE_PORT` option is used; it defaults to 22 |
| ``ansible_ssh_user`` | no | | Specifies the username that authenticates the CLI login for the connection to the remote device; if value is unspecified, the `ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER` environment variable value is used |
| ``ansible_ssh_pass`` | no | | Specifies the password that authenticates the connection to the remote device |
| ``ansible_become`` | no | yes, no\* | Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands; if value is unspecified, the `ANSIBLE_BECOME` environment variable value is used, and the device attempts to execute all commands in non-privileged mode |
| ``ansible_become_method`` | no | enable, sudo\* | Instructs the module to allow the become method to be specified for handling privilege escalation; if value is unspecified, the `ANSIBLE_BECOME_METHOD` environment variable value is used |
| ``ansible_become_pass`` | no | | Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device; if ``ansible_become`` is set to no this key is not applicable |
| ``ansible_network_os`` | yes | os9, null\* | Loads the correct terminal and cliconf plugins to communicate with the remote device |
> **NOTE**: Asterisk (\*) denotes the default value if none is specified.
Example playbook
----------------
This example uses the *os9_prefix_list* role to configure prefix_list for both IPv4 and IPv6. It creates a *hosts* file with the switch details and corresponding variables. The hosts file should define the `ansible_network_os` variable with corresponding Dell EMC OS9 name.
When `os9_cfg_generate` is set to true, the variable generates the configuration commands as a .part file in *build_dir* path. By default, the variable is set to false. It writes a simple playbook that only references the *os9_prefix_list* role.
**Sample hosts file**
leaf1 ansible_host= <ip_address>
**Sample host_vars/leaf1**

ansible_become_method: xxxxx
ansible_become_pass: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_user: xxxxx
ansible_ssh_pass: xxxxx
ansible_network_os: dellemc.os9.os9
build_dir: ../temp/os9
