In this episode, we are going to configure Network System and Services options like hostname, NTP, SNMP, and the banner. With the exception of hostname, all the other configuration options are generally shared across a group of devices. You'll learn how to setup the group_vars folder and see the effect of having variables in a more specific group (like routers.yml or switches.yml) vs all.yml impacts how the variables are used.
I'll show you other new features in this video including the use of import_tasks, setting tags, and the "{{inventory_hostname}}" variable.
