Hello,
I am still new to ansible and have been trying to get a simple playbook
together using cisco IOS modules. I am testing with a Cisco Catalyst 3850
switch (running IOS XE 16.6.2) and at this stage am trying to collect the
config and safe it as a text file. I am running ansible 2.4.1, python 2.7.5
and this is my playbook, related files and the resulting error:
_____________________________________________________________
*backup.yaml*
---
- hosts: all
gather_facts: false
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Execute Show run command
ios_command:
commands:
- show run
host: "{{ ansible_host }}"
username: ansible
password: ansible
register: config
- name: Save the output to /etc/ansible/files
copy:
content: "{{ config.stdout[0] }}"
dest: "/etc/ansible/files/SHOW_RUN_{{ inventory_hostname }}.txt"

*ansible.cfg*

PLAY RECAP

I have tried to find this error and possible solutions for it in different
forums but the suggested solutions haven't worked for me yet. Any help
would be great as I am out of thoughts on what to do next.
Thanks,
Lukas
