There is a git sub-module now being used for the templates, so when you clone this repo for the templates and Ansible modules you should use the follow clone options:

Option 1:

git clone https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-ansible --recursive

Option 2:

git clone https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-ansible
cd ntc-ansible
git submodule update --init --recursive

• ntc_show_command - gets structured data from devices that don't have an API. This module uses SSH to connect to devices. Supports as many device types as netmiko supports.
• ntc_config_command - sends commands to devices that don't have an API. This module uses SSH to connect to devices. Supports as many device types as netmiko supports.
• ntc_save_config - saves the running config and optionally copies it to the Ansible control host for an offline backup. Uses SSH/netmiko for IOS, NX-API for Nexus, and eAPI for Arista.
• ntc_file_copy - copies a file from the Ansible control host to a network device. Uses SSH for IOS, NX-API for Nexus, and eAPI for Arista.
• ntc_reboot - reboots a network device. Uses SSH/netmiko for IOS, NX-API for Nexus, and eAPI for Arista.
• ntc_get_facts - gathers facts from a network device. Uses SSH/netmiko for IOS, NX-API for Nexus, and eAPI for Arista.
• ntc_rollback - performs two major functions. (1) Creates a checkpoint file or backup running config on box. (2) Rolls back to the previously created checkpoint/backup config. Use case is to create the checkpoint/backup as the first task in a playbook and then rollback to it if needed using block/rescue, i.e. try/except in Ansible. Uses SSH/netmiko for IOS, NX-API for Nexus, and eAPI for Arista.
• ntc_install_os - installs a new operating system or just sets boot options. Depends on platform. Does not issue a "reload" command, but the device may perform an automatic reboot. Common workflow is to use ntc_file_copy, ntc_install_os, and then ntc_reboot (if needed) for upgrades. Uses SSH/netmiko for IOS, NX-API for Nexus, and eAPI for Arista.
