Provides a role to populate ZTP server

[titom73]

Hi

Can we add a role to generate configuration for ZTP server and copy device's configuration to the ZTP repository ?

It will kindly help to quickly setup a POC with a Zero Touch Provisioning approach.

Regards,

TiTom

It's a great idea.
Do you think it would be possible to create a generic role for DHCP configuration that could work for any Ansible project ?

In this case I would suggest to put the generic role here : https://github.com/JNPRAutomate/ansible-lib-roles
And add the appropriate variables/playbooks on this repo (leveraging the generic role) in this directory.

The goal of this other repo is to centralize roles that can be used in many projects.

I should probably move the underlay roles there as they can be used in many places as well

Sure we can adapt it to be more generic.

One of the key point is how to deal with different software package for different hardware. Indeed, in the EVPN/VXLAN we are using the group_vars to set the package per device family. In a more generic approach we would have to re think how to achieve that.

Keep you posted on the other repository.
