The Community Network collection includes community maintained content to help automate network appliances.

The community network collection supports network_cli and httpapi connections.

Click the Content button to see the list of content included in this collection.

You can install the community network collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.network

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it with ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:
  - name: community.network
    # If you need a specific version of the collection, you can specify like this:
    # version: ...

You can call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), such as community.network.routeros_command. The following example task replaces configuration changes in the existing configuration on a network device, using the FQCN:

---
  - name: run command on remote devices
    community.network.routeros_command:
      commands: /system routerboard print

Alternately, you can call modules by their short name if you list the community.network collection in the playbook's collections, as follows:

---
- hosts: routeros01
  gather_facts: false
  connection: network_cli

  collections:
    - community.network

  tasks:
    - name: Gather facts from the device.
      routeros_facts:
         gather_subset: all
