This document discusses using Ansible to configure Dell EMC networking devices running OS10. It includes examples of using Ansible ad-hoc commands to ping devices and retrieve information using the dellos10_command module. It also provides a YAML playbook that creates VLAN 11 on different devices and interfaces and configures BFD between spine switches and the access switch.
