The Ansible Cisco IOSXR collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of Cisco IOSXR network appliances.

This collection has been tested against Cisco IOS-XR version 7.0.2

## Support

As a Red Hat Ansible [Certified Content](https://catalog.redhat.com/software/search?target_platforms=Red%20Hat%20Ansible%20Automation%20Platform), this collection is entitled to [support](https://access.redhat.com/support/) through [Ansible Automation Platform](https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/management/ansible) (AAP).

If a support case cannot be opened with Red Hat and the collection has been obtained either from [Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/) or [GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/cisco.iosxr), there is community support available at no charge.

You can join us on [#network:ansible.com](https://matrix.to/#/#network:ansible.com) room or the [Ansible Forum Network Working Group](https://forum.ansible.com/g/network-wg).

## Ansible version compatibility

This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: **>=2.16.0**.

For collections that support Ansible 2.9, please ensure you update your `network_os` to use the
fully qualified collection name (for example, `cisco.ios.ios`).
Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions.
A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions.
PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.

## Installing this collection

You can install the Cisco IOS-XR collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

    ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.iosxr

You can also include it in a `requirements.yml` file and install it with `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml`, using the format:

```yaml
---
collections:
  - name: cisco.iosxr
```
## Using this collection


This collection includes [network resource modules](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/network_resource_modules.html).

### Using modules from the Cisco IOSXR collection in your playbooks

You can call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), such as `cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l2_interfaces`.
The following example task replaces configuration changes in the existing configuration on a Cisco IOSXR network device, using the FQCN:

```yaml
---
 - name: Replace device configuration of specified L2 interfaces with provided configuration.
   cisco.iosxr.iosxr_l2_interfaces:
     config:
       - name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/4
         native_vlan: 40
         l2transport: True
         l2protocol:
         - stp: forward
       - name: GigabitEthernet0/0/0/3.900
         q_vlan:
         - 20
         - any
     state: replaced

```

**NOTE**: For Ansible 2.9, you may not see deprecation warnings when you run your playbooks with this collection. Use this documentation to track when a module is deprecated.
