We are continuing our journey with Ansible. The first part of my Ansible journey is available here.
My Network topology:
To access my virtual routers in GNS, I need to configure additional routing on my host machine. The IP network ‘10.0.0.0/24’ will be reachable via the gateway IP address ‘192.168.122.1’
virbr0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.122.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.122.255
ether 52:54:00:52:55:3e txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 85 bytes 22804 (22.8 KB)
RX errors 0 dropped 1 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 162 bytes 30867 (30.8 KB)

Adding new routing on Ubuntu:
sudo route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.122.1
Verifying the Routing Table:
netstat -rn

Got it! Let’s do something with Ansible!
