I'm not able to run ios_command module in Ansible 2.1 for executing commands on my cisco routers.
I've written a playbook for testing ios_command module on cisco routers. Following is the playbook I wrote --- - hosts: router2 tasks: - ios_command: username: cisco password: cisco # host: router2.3node.example.com commands: - show version register: output - debug: msg="Hello World! {{ output.stdout }}" But the playbook fails with the following message : *fatal: [router2.3node.example.com]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh.", "unreachable": true}* and value *unreachable=1* Also find the output while run on debug mode TASK [setup] ******************************************************************* Using module file /home/cisco/ansible_dev/ansible/lib/ansible/modules/core/system/setup.py <router2.3node.example.com> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: None <router2.3node.example.com> SSH: EXEC ssh -C -q -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o ControlPath=/home/cisco/.ansible/cp/ansible-ssh-%h-%p-%r router2.3node.example.com '/bin/sh -c '"'"'( umask 77 && mkdir -p "` echo $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1464109982.9-18150317646623 `" && echo ansible-tmp-1464109982.9-18150317646623="` echo $HOME/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1464109982.9-18150317646623 `" ) && sleep 0'"'"'' fatal: [router2.3node.example.com]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh.", "unreachable": true} Please let me know if someone has tried the same and solved this problem.
