no modules for STP, POE or NTP

[Bernhardvleen]

Hi, the above mentioned modules are the ones that I use for 2540 switch from your collection aos-switch-ansible. I was hoping that I can more or less do the same with this collection. is there a reason why these modules are not exisiting (yet)?

Spanning Tree (with the protection features like BPDU and Loop Guard) (the module for aos-switch is [arubaoss_stp.py])

in general, do you still add modules to these collections, or are they considered complete?

thank you for your effort maintaining the collections, we love ansible and try to do as much with it as we can, so we can keep our change management consistent!

hi @Bernhardvleen,

i think, coming from not yet supported on pyaoscx and not yet add to this ansible collection ;) and not yet people ask this ! (expect you !)

you confirm @tchiapuziowong @derekwangHPEAruba

The AOS-CX collection is continually being developed and currently we're working on developing the module for PoE. Thank you for informing us which features are a priority for you - STP and NTP are in the backlog for development and we'll publish release notes as well as an announcement on our Developer CommunityDeveloper Community when new versions are released and which modules they include.

[Bernhardvleen]

good to know that there is stuff yet to come! - priority wise I would have STP over NTP (please make sure that all available protection options are implemented if possible (i.e. loop-guard, bpdu-guard and bpdu-filter) in my opinion loop-guard is the most important one and it is unfortunately missing from aos-switch collection)

+1's to the loop-protect and PoE modules.

Is there any new information on either of them?

[tchiapuziowong]

@DonRhodes We've since published the aoscx_poe module to configure PoE attributes on an interface - the remaining modules are still in our backlog and planned for development

[DonRhodes]

I saw that, classic two parties thinking different things but using the same words. I was hopeful that there would be a way to get the PoE status of a switch, similar to show power-over-ethernet command. Looking through the aoscx_facts, all of the PoE information is on the individual interface, but no system-level view.

[tchiapuziowong]

that's a great enhancement thank you for the suggestion! would you mind creating a separate github issue for us to track the effort in that particular ask? @DonRhodes

[DonRhodes]

Will do.
