I am trying to develop a Playbook which will reference an external
variables file that contains numerous MAC addresses that I want to
interrogate a network core device for.
If I use a very simple playbook just showing the entire ARP table such as
this I get the expected results as show.
---
- name: IP From Arp For ISE Cleanup
hosts: CoreTest
gather_facts: false
connection: network_cli
tasks:
#Execute commands on specified hosts, interating through imported items.
- name: Interrogate ARP Tables on Customer Core Devices
ios_command:
commands: sh ip arp vrf ipt
register: results
#Print Results
- name: Print Results
debug:
msg: "{{ results }}"
stdout_lines:
- - Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type
Interface
- Internet 172.17.x.x - 0000.0c9f.f1fc ARPA Vlan508
- Internet 172.17.x.x 110 001f.6dcc.5e4a ARPA Vlan508
- Internet 172.17.x.x 77 001f.6dcc.5447 ARPA Vlan508
However when I use the include filter and point to an external variables
files which includes the specific MAC addresses I want to find the debug
output doesn't show me that it ever gets the IP addresses.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
