Configuring the Host Name

Objectives

After completing this section, you should be able to use Ansible to configure the host name on Cisco IOS and VyOS network devices.

Configuring Network Devices

The same family of Ansible modules is used to back up running configurations and to modify the configuration of network devices: *os_config.

This makes it easy to back up the running configuration immediately prior to modifying the configuration.
