# Objective
|
|
|
|
Demonstrate managing the VTY ACL on a Cisco router.
|
|
|
|
# What business problem is solved?
|
|
|
|
- **speed to market**:
|
|
Reduce the time needed to make changes to Cisco configs.
|
|
- **reduce human error**:
|
|
Automation of routine manual processes
|
|
- **reduce complexity**:
|
|
Allows one Network Engineer to update multiple devices at once. Automate and test once and allow all users access to deploy Ansible Jobs.
|
|
- **enforce policy**:
|
|
Ansible ensures every device has the same config.
|
|
|
|

# Guide
|
|
|
|
1. Verify rtr1 config
|
|
|
|
ssh to rtr1 from the workshop bastion and perform a ***show run*** on the router. Verify that there is no VTY ACL on the router.
|
|
|
|
2. Login to Ansible Platform UX
|
|
|
|
3. Navigate to **Templates**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Click the rocket next to **Cisco IOS VTY ACL config audit/remediation** to launch the Job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. The job will launch and update the VTY ACL on rtr1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. What is happening:
|
|
|
|
- Job has started executed in the background. The user can navigate off this page and the job will continue to execute.
|
|
- On the left is the **Job Details Pane** labeled simply with **DETAILS**. This information is logged and tells you who, what, when and how.
|
|
- **who** - who launched the job, in this example is the admin user
|
|
- **what** - the project and Ansible Playbook used, and which credential to login to the infrastructure
|
|
- **when** - time stamps for start, end and duration of the job run.
|
|
- **how** - the job status (pass, fail), enviornment and execution node
|
|
- The larger window on the right is the **Standard Out Pane**. This provides the same console output the user would be used to on the command-line for troubleshooting purposes. Some important takeways to showcase are:
|
|
- aggregate info is at the top including the amount of Plays, tasks, hosts and time duration.
|
|
- this pane can be expanded to take up entire browser window
|
|
- Ansible Playbook can be downloaded for troubleshooting purposes
|
|
- **click on task output** to show them task-by-task JSON output that can be used for troubleshooting or just getting additional information
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. ssh to rtr1 and verify the VTY ACL has been changed.
