The Open vSwitch collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of Open vSwitch.

This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: >=2.9.10,<2.11.

Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions. A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions. PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.

The Open vSwitch collection supports local connections only.

You can install the Open vSwitch collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install openvswitch.openvswitch

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: openvswitch.openvswitch

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

---
  - name: Creates port eth2 on bridge br-ex
    openvswitch.openvswitch.openvswitch_port:
      bridge: br-ex
      port: eth2
    state: present

NOTE: For Ansible 2.9, you may not see deprecation warnings when you run your playbooks with this collection. Use this documentation to track when a module is deprecated.
