Has anyone managed to do this? I've been using a lot of the new ansible network modules but have ran into a snag trying to configure an exec banner. Looking at accounting logs I see Ansible login, pass the command " banner exec Z",and then it just does nothing and Ansible times out. I'm assuming this is due to how the banner is configured using start/stop delimiters, but not sure how to work around it.
I'm using ios_template with a simple banner.j2 template: banner exec Z This is a test banner Z If I stuff everything on a single line it will work, but that is not the behavior I'm looking for: banner exec Z this works but is ugly Z The Cisco banner doesn't provide any way to force a new line (via \n or similar) and I'm not familiar with any way for Ansible to send a new line character as "\n" isn't parsed and is sent as a literal string to the router config. I've tried doing this with both ios_command and ios_config, but experienced the same timeout behavior for each. -- NOTICE: The information contained in this email may be confidential, proprietary and/or legally privileged.
