To take it one step further, in the output. I'd like to remove any results
that have "UPLINK" in them
I have tried the following below, but "{{ intf_corrected2 }}" doesn't show
me what I'm expecting.
I'm expecting to see just the one switch which has the mac and the port
isn't an uplink. Below is where I'm at:
---
- name: Find mac address in sec-switches
hosts: sec-switch
gather_facts: false
connection: local
vars_prompt:
- name: mac
prompt: What is the mac address?
private: no
tasks:
-
name: debugging
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: 'Searching for {{ mac }}'
-
name: search
ios_command:
commands:
- "show mac address-table | include {{ mac }}"
register: printout
- set_fact:
intf: |
{{printout.stdout_lines[0] |
map('regex_replace','^(?:[^ ]*\ ){12}([^ ]*)') |
list }}
- set_fact:
intf_corrected1={{ intf[0].strip() }}
- debug:
msg: "{{ intf_corrected1 }}"
-
name: show int desc
ios_command:
commands:
- "sh interfaces description | inc {{ intf_corrected1 }}"
register: printout2
- name: View output
debug:
var: printout2
- set_fact:
intf_corrected2: |
{{printout2 |
map('regex_replace','^((?!UPLINK|uplink).)*$') |
list }}
- name: View output
debug:
msg: "{{ intf_corrected2 }}"
