Trying to explore the possibilities of frr_bgp module.
If I try a task like:
tasks:
That results in:
File "/tmp/ansible_frr_facts_payload_UFKM_S/ansible_frr_facts_payload.zip/ansible/module_utils/connection.py", line 125, in init\r\nAssertionError: socket_path must be a value
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Piet
What ansible_connection are you using?
I encountered a similar problem when ansible_connection is set to local.
I solved the problem by setting ansible_connection to network_cli
adding frr to lib/ansible/config/base.yml also can solve the problem (ansible_connection is set to local)
i.e.
NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES:
name: Network module families
default: […, frr]

Hi Jane,
Thanks for the reply. Alas, it didn’t work 
A bit more on the environment I’m working with:
Got a lab setup with ubuntu 18.04 VMs with FRR 7.0 installed.
What I want to test is whether I can properly configure frr on there with ansible.
so the regular network_cli connection is likely not to work.
What confuses me is that the AssertionError seems to point to config error in the connection module (it calls Connection(module.socket_path) but socket_path is Null. The socket_path should be set somewhere, I just can’t seem to find where 
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Piet
Hi,
I noticed there is no frr.py at lib/ansible/plugins/action.
What’s the ansible_network_os ?
In my case (my customized network device, qnos) , I need add
NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES:
name: Network module families
default: […, qnos]
In this case, my ansible_network_os=qnos
And the socket_path is set at the run() at lib/ansible/plugins/action/qnos.py.
You can refer to the lib/ansible/plugins/action/ios.py or the corresponding ansible_network_os file.
sincerely,
Jane#

Hi,
ansible_network_os is not set.
As indicated: this is a ubuntu vm with frr installed in it, so ansible does not really recognize a network_os variant.
so it might be that frr_bgp can only be used on certain device types?
For now, I’m going to try another way of generating the proper configuration.
I’ve tried this on cumulus switches as well, network_os is unset there too.
Thanks,
Piet
Please try setting below variables in inventory file:ansible_network_os=frr ansible_connection=network_cli
network_cli uses persistent connection and the value _socket_path is set after the connection with the remote host is successful in task_executor
Also, frr action plugin is not required for connection=network_cli
Hello,
For managing FRR using Ansible, you’d need to a have service account with the default shell set to /bin/vtysh on the VM/bare-metal server on which you’ve deployed FRR and use that service account credentials in your group_vars/host_vars. Essentially, if you SSH directly into your VMs using that service account, you should drop directly to the FRR shell.
You would also need to set ansible_network_os: frr and ansible_connection: network_cli
Thanks!
Hi Nilashish,
Thanks!
Helps a few good steps, but I’m still running into a wall ;(
Got this in group_vars/routers:
ansible_network_os: frr
ansible_connection: network_cli
ansible_user: frradmin
playbook router_config:
Hi Piet,
Could you try setting ‘ansible_python_interpreter’ value to point to the python executable on your controller node and check if it works?
Refer: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html (search for ansible_python_interpreter)
Thanks!
That does the trick!
Thanks 
Piet

root@maya-VirtualBox:/home/maya/ansible# ansible-playbook demo.yml -vvvv
This is the playbook demo.yml:
tasks:
And this is the hosts file:
[frr]
cumulus01 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python
[all:vars]
ansible_user=cumulus
ansible_network_os: frr
ansible_connection: network_cli
[local]
localhost ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3.6
Tried to make something simple here to isolate the root cause, but I ran out of ideas.
cumulus user’s shell is the vtysh shell, as Nilashish Chakraborty suggested it should be.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Maya.
Hi all,
I'm having the same problem. Tried everything suggested here, but no luck...
What about fixing all the inventory warnings first?
Regards
Racke
Hi,

Fixed the warning, but now getting another:

Thanks,
Maya
Seems like there is a bug. If commenting the line “from ansible.module_utils.basic import get_timestamp” in “ansible/plugins/cliconf/frr.py” it works.
