Hi,
I would like to thank for telnet playbook that you provided. I am able to
run show inventory command but for show run command, I am running with term
len 0 and it does not store any output from show run.
cat vic-7yar-es-06-18.txt
terminal length 0
below is my playbook-
- name: show version
hosts: vic-7yar-es-06-18
gather_facts: false
connection: local
tasks:
- name: telnet sw
telnet:
user:
password:
login_prompt: "Username: "
prompts:
- '[>|#]'
ios_command:
- terminal length 0
- show version
register: output
- debug: var=output
- local_action: copy content="{{ output.output[0] }}"
dest="device_backups/{{ inventory_hostname }}.txt"
