---
- hosts: cisco
connection: local
gather_facts: yes
ignore_errors: yes
tasks:
- name: run show command via Telnet using the expect module
expect:
command: telnet 10.101.250.12
responses:
Username: admin
Password: xxxxxx
command: copy running-config ftp
Address or name of remote host:
- 10.241.11.237
Destination filename pod2_c3560-confg:

command: exit
Error message
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
The error appears to have been in '/etc/ansible/backup-cisconew12-ine 14,
column 40, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
command: copy running-config ftp
Address or name of remote host:
^ here
exception type: <class 'yaml.scanner.ScannerError'>
exception: mapping values are not allowed in this context
in "<unicode string>", line 14, column 40
