* Ansible 2.3 feature support for dellos6.
- With the new Ansible 2.3 infra changes, the dellos modules doesn't work
(the new infra changes are not backward compatible), so added the below
changes support it.
- Added the new terminal plugin for DellOS6
- Added the new action plugin for DellOS6
- Modified the modules to work with the new infra.
- with that it adds support for DellOS6 Persistent Connection support.
* Remove pep8 confirming files from dellos6.py and dellos6_config legacy-files
* Ansible 2.3 feature support for dellos9 and dellos10
* Use Persistent Connection Manager
* Fix CI issue, revert the doc and metadata changes
* Reverted the meta_info (supported_by) to community from core
* Fixed the CI issues, use module_utisl.six and updated legacy-files
* fixes action handlers for sros
* fixes sros_config module execution to use AnsibleModule
* fixes sros_command module to use socket connection
* adds sros to constants
* Update module_utils.six to latest
We've been held back on the version of six we could use on the module
side to 1.4.x because of python-2.4 compatibility. Now that our minimum
is Python-2.6, we can update to the latest version of six in
module_utils and get rid of the second copy in lib/ansible/compat.
* removes unneeded supports_multiplexing var
* refactors terminal_prompts_re to terminal_stdout_re
* refactors terminal_errors_re to terminal_stderr_re
* updates network_cli unit test cases
This completes the refactor of the nxos modules to use the persistent
connection. It also updates all of the nxos modules to use the
new connection module and preserves use of nxapi as well.
* updates eos modules to use persistent connection socket
* removes split eos shared module and combines into one
* adds singular eos doc frag (eos_local to be removed after module updates)
* updates unit test cases
For devices that do not support mutliplexing, we cannot automatically
determine the network os. This removes the os guess static method
from the terminal plugin. For this devices, the network_os
value must be configured
This updates the network_cli connection plugin to attempt to automatically
determine the remote device os. The device network os discovery can
be overridden by setting the ansible_network_os value.
* adds new connection plugin `network_cli` which builds on paramiko
* adds new plugin `terminal` used for manipulating network_cli terminals
* adds new field to play_context `network_os` settable as ansible_network_os
This commit adds the plugins necesary to establish a persistent cli connection
to network devices of ssh. It builds on the paramiko connection plugin
to create a shell environment that will persistent through ansible-connection.
The `newtork_cli` plugin then uses the network_os in the instance of
PlayContext to load the appropriate network OS environment plugin for
handling opening and closing of shells as well as privilege escalation.
