Hello,
I am trying to use Ansible with Cisco SF300 switches. I use a basic
playbook that retrieve the version :
---
- hosts: ios_devices
gather_facts: no
connection: local
vars_prompt:
- name: "mgmt_username"
prompt: "Username"
private: no
- name: "mgmt_password"
prompt: "Password"
tasks:
- name: SYS | Define provider
set_fact:
provider:
host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
username: "{{ mgmt_username }}"
password: "{{ mgmt_password }}"
- name: IOS | Show clock
ios_command:
provider: "{{ provider }}"
commands:
- show version
register: version
- debug: msg="{{ version.stdout }}"
I have the following error :
fatal: [*hostname*]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg":
"failed
to connect to *hostname*"}
I found why : if I had the following configuration *ip ssh password-auth *to
the switch*, *it is working.
>From the cisco guide : Use the ip ssh password-auth Global Configuration
mode command to enable password authentication of incoming SSH sessions.
The thing is normally when I connect to a switch by ssh, I am still asked
for a user name and password after being connected before entering
commands.
I tried the option *authorize *of the ios_command module but it's not
working.
I could manually add this configuration of the ssh server on every switch
but it is a long job to do.
Do you have any other solutions ?
Have a nice day !
Romain
