Issue with nmcli command

We have a playbook where we are trying to create a bonded interface between 2 physical interfaces. We are specifying the connection name (conn_name) but we get errors stating that the interface file could not be found. For example, one of the interfaces is eno2, so the interface should be /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno2, however, Ansible is looking for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno2-1, which doesn’t exist.

Here’s the error:

TASK [Create the bond-slave interfaces] ************************************************************************************************************************************

failed: [server1] (item={u’conn_name’: u’enp216s0f1’, u’ifname’: u’enp216s0f1’, u’master’: u’bond1’}) => {“ansible_loop_var”: “item”, “changed”: false, “item”: {“conn_name”: “enp216s0f1”, “ifname”: “enp216s0f1”, “master”: “bond1”}, “msg”: “Error: Failed to modify connection ‘enp216s0f1’: Could not read file ‘/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp216s0f1-1’: No such file or directory\n”, “name”: “enp216s0f1”, “rc”: 1}

Here’s how we have the variables setup that the playbook uses:

pre_tasks:

  • setup:

filter: ‘ansible_default_ipv4’

vars:

  • bond_interface:

  • conn_name: bond1

ip4: 192.168.99.{{ansible_default_ipv4.address.split(‘.’)[3] }}

gw4: 192.168.99.1

mode: 802.3ad

mtu: 9000

  • bond_slave:

  • conn_name: enp216s0f1

ifname: enp216s0f1

master: bond1

  • conn_name: eno2

ifname: eno2

master: bond1

  • name: Create bond1 interface
    nmcli:
    conn_name: ‘{{ item.conn_name }}’
    ip4: ‘{{ item.ip4 }}’
    gw4: ‘{{ item.gw4 }}’
    mode: ‘{{ item.mode }}’
    mtu: ‘{{ item.mtu }}’
    type: bond
    state: present
    with_items:

  • ‘{{ bond_interface }}’

  • name: Create the bond-slave interfaces
    nmcli:
    type: bond-slave
    conn_name: ‘{{ item.conn_name }}’
    ifname: ‘{{ item.ifname }}’
    master: ‘{{ item.master }}’
    state: present
    with_items:

  • ‘{{ bond_slave }}’

It appears as though the conn_name for the bond_slave play is being ignored. The docs state for conn_name: Where conn_name will be the name used to call the connection. when not provided a default name is generated: [-][-].

Any ideas?
