Hi,
I have just installed Ansible for the first time and am attempting to
connect to a Cisco switch, this needs to be with username and password.
>From both an Ubuntu server and my Mac I can ssh to the box with the same
username and password I have configured in the ansible inventory.
I have attempted from an Ubuntu host and my Mac, however I am receiving the
following error:
===============================================================
xxxx:/etc/ansible$ ansible -m ping all
xxxx | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Connection to 192.168.10.200
closed by remote host.\r\nConnection closed\r\n",
"unreachable": true
}
===============================================================
Ansible config:
host1 ansible_host=192.168.10.200 ansible_user=xxxx ansible_ssh_pass=xxxx
Debug from switch shows the succesful authentication and subsequent closing
of the connection:
