Implementación de Ansible para la configuración de equipos de networking : Implementar Ansible para realizar enrutamiento entre VLANs.

Abstract

The project in question seeks to implement the Ansible tool for the automated configuration of networking equipment in order to obtain a topology where routing between VLANs is executed. For this, the playbooks will be used that, through an SSH connection, will allow the teams to raise ports, create VLANs and establish designated ports for communication between machines. For the first part, the project is described based on the Ansible tool, its main characteristics and the necessary requirements for its correct execution, in this way it will be possible to work with Ansible without any problem. In addition, network simulators are approached by making a comparison between three most representative simulators. Subsequently, in the second part the methodology used for the execution of the project is proposed, describing the most relevant parameters and instructions, reaching a good development for each of the proposed objectives. The third part describes the implementation steps, where the controller node is configured, which through the SSH protocol is able to communicate with the network equipment. The playbooks will be configured thanks to the installed Ansible application, which are deployed in the managed nodes. Within this part, the verification tests are presented, observing that the configuration has been carried out automatically and that there is routing between VLANs. Finally, in the last sections, the fourth and fifth, contain, respectively, the conclusions and recommendations obtained throughout the development of the project.
