==================== ==========================================
Protocol SSH
Credentials uses SSH keys / SSH-agent if present
accepts ``-u myuser -k`` if using password
Indirect Access via a bastion (jump host)
Connection Settings ``ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli``
|enable_mode| supported: use ``ansible_become: yes``
with ``ansible_become_method: enable``
and ``ansible_become_password:``
Returned Data Format ``stdout[0].``
==================== ==========================================
.. |enable_mode| replace:: Enable Mode |br| (Privilege Escalation)
The ``ansible_connection: local`` has been deprecated. Please use ``ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli`` instead.
Using CLI in Ansible
================================================================================
Example CLI ``group_vars/dellos9.yml``
--------------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli
ansible_network_os: dellemc.os9.os9
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 (dellos9)
dellemc.os9.os9_config:
backup: yes
register: backup_dellos9_location
when: ansible_network_os == 'dellemc.os9.os9'
