The ``ansible_connection: local`` has been deprecated. Please use ``ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli`` instead.


Using CLI in Ansible
================================================================================

Example CLI ``group_vars/dellos10.yml``
---------------------------------------

.. code-block:: yaml

   ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli
   ansible_network_os: dellemc.os10.os10
   ansible_user: myuser
   ansible_password: !vault...
   ansible_become: yes
   ansible_become_method: enable
   ansible_become_password: !vault...
   ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bastion01"'


- If you are using SSH keys (including an ssh-agent) you can remove the ``ansible_password`` configuration.
- If you are accessing your host directly (not through a bastion/jump host) you can remove the ``ansible_ssh_common_args`` configuration.
- If you are accessing your host through a bastion/jump host, you cannot include your SSH password in the ``ProxyCommand`` directive. To prevent secrets from leaking out (for example in ``ps`` output), SSH does not support providing passwords via environment variables.

Example CLI task
----------------

.. code-block:: yaml

   - name: Backup current switch config (dellos10)
     dellemc.os10.os10_config:
       backup: yes
     register: backup_dellos10_location
     when: ansible_network_os == 'dellemc.os10.os10'
