Network Configuration Demos

Overview​

Network Demos in Playbooks are used to showcase how to configure network settings on AIX systems using Ansible. These demos include tasks such as setting up TCP/IP configurations, defining hostnames, IP addresses, interfaces, nameservers, and domains.

Usage Example​

The playbook playbooks/demo_mktcpip.yml is an example that demonstrates setting the required values for starting TCP/IP on an AIX system. It uses the ibm.power_aix.mktcpip module to apply the network configurations specified in the playbook.
