Hi Srinivas,
Sure! I will update you.
This is just weird, I tried it on GNS3 and it is working. but on the prod
itself, it is not.
playbook is just straight forward:
---
- name: Telnet do show version for IOS
hosts: Cisco_Telnet
gather_facts: false
connection: local
tasks:
- name: show version
telnet:
user: "{{ username }}"
password: "{{ password }}"
login_prompt: "Username:"
prompts:
- "[>|#]"
command:
- terminal length 0
- show version
hostfile:
[Cisco_Telnet]
cisco_device host=192.168.1.1 username=cisco password=cisco
