Configure Devices

Applies baseline configuration to containerlab network devices (Cisco NX-OS and IOS-XE) using Ansible Network Resource Modules. Configures banners, NTP servers, and SNMP settings to demonstrate how Ansible standardizes configuration across different network operating systems.

Prerequisites

• Containerlab stack deployed via the NETWORK ǀ Deploy Containerlab Stack workflow
• Containerlab Device Access credential configured
• ContainerLab Inventory synced with hypervisor IP

NETWORK ǀ Containerlab ǀ Configure Devices	network/configure_devices.yml	Applies banner, NTP, and SNMP configuration to containerlab NX-OS and IOS-XE devices

Why it matters

• Demonstrates Ansible Network Resource Modules applying the same logical configuration (NTP, SNMP, banners) across different Cisco platforms
• Shows how a single job template can configure heterogeneous network environments consistently
• Baseline configuration is a common first step before compliance checks or reporting
