Dear Community,
I am configuring an Ansible playbook that does the following:
1) Takes user prompts for network name and device serial numbers
2) Turns those prompts into variables
3) Creates a combined Network based on the inputs
4) Adds the device to the network, in this case an MX appliance.
I have everything working but am running into a couple of issues:
1) When I use the "hostname:" parameter in the YAML, the MX device never gets added. I have to comment it out or remove the line completely. The network gets created no problem
2) When I am able to create the network and the device is successfully added (by commenting out the hostname param), how do I update the MX device name? Its the MAC address by default. Is this the same as the hostname?
I am using Ansible 2.9.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
