Arista EOS Cookbook

Overview

The eos cookbook provides a set of recipes, resources and providers for managing network resources on Arista EOS devices. The recipes in this cookbook make use of data bags to provide node specific configuration.

In order to 'attach' a data bag configuration to a node, attributes are used to uniquely identify the node's data bag. The selector will first look for a data bag with the name found in eos/config/databag. The default data bag name is eos_config. In the data bag, you can specify how to unique represent the nodes specific data bag item. The eos/config/identifier attribute will specify the value to use. This value can be one of hostname, macaddress or serialnumber. The default value is hostname.

If you wish to supply your node specific configuration via an alternative mechanism, you can modify eos/config/provider to other and override the get_config method. This will allow you to return your own hash with configuration values.
