Chapter 7 Tactical Playbooks

Provision of a VLAN Earlier in the chapter we discussed the steps required to orchestrate the provisioning of a VLAN. Here we will convert that intent and the manual steps into a fully orchestrated playbook that will provision the VLAN as a service setting up both the distribution and access side of the network. A reminder of the intent:

 Distribution layer:

o New VLAN. o STP root for new VLAN. o New SVI for VLAN. o Add VLAN to port-channel facing access switch.

 Access layer:

o New VLAN.  
o Add VLAN to port-channel facing distribution layer.  
o Configure physical interfaces as access ports on new VLAN.
