Hello,

I'm quite used now to manage Debian hosts with Ansible.
I would like to also manage Mikrotik RouterOS device with Ansible.

The whole picture is:
- using Flashfig to initialize the platform (management IP, firmware, certs, creds, management accounts, enabling/disabling protocols, ...)
- using Ansible to set IP addresses and VLAN, firwalling

Which Ansible module shall I favor first (and why) as some seem to use SSH while some use RouterOS API ?
Are you aware of Mikrotik directly contributing to these modules ?

Best regards

When using CLI to configure RouterOS, I had trouble to script idempotent operations such as "create VLAN 10 if it doesn't exist".
I don't mean it's not possible to write idempotent scripts with CLI, I only mean I had trouble doing so.

One expected benefit from using Ansible is to ease idempotent configuration.

Hi Olivier,

I dind't find a perfect ansible module for this, when I was searching in early 2022. Maybe things have changed, but I'm currently using
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest ... index.html
For basic stuff. It's not really indempotent though.

Check TR069 instead, will it work for you or not.

Does TR069 support VLAN configuration (ie not just for WAN port but for bridge or interface) ?
