Using CLI in Ansible
|
||||||
|
====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example CLI ``group_vars/frr.yml``
|
||||||
|
----------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ansible_connection: network_cli
|
||||||
|
ansible_network_os: frr
|
||||||
|
ansible_user: frruser
|
||||||
|
ansible_password: !vault...
|
||||||
|
ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bastion01"'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The `ansible_user` should be a part of the `frrvty` group and should have the default shell set to `/bin/vtysh`.
|
||||||
|
- 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
