You can follow these step to make machine passwordless. Step:1 First generate the public/private key pair on the Ansible control machine: $ ssh-keygen –t rsa
Step:2 Enable the RSA-SSH authentication feature on the Dell switch by executing the following command: # ip ssh rsa-authentication enable Step:3 Configure the username and password on the Dell switch. The RSA-authentication public key will be added to the admin. # username admin password xxxx privilege 15 Step:4 Login to the Dell switch using SSH and username admin. Copy the public key of the Ansible control machine to the Dell switch: # copy scp: flash: Address or name of remote host []: 100.67.1.10 Source file name []: .ssh/id_rsa.pub User name to login remote host: root Password to login remote host: Destination file name [id_rsa.pub]: 224 bytes successfully copied Leaf1A# Step:5 Login into the Dell EMC Networking switch through SSH and configure the public key on the Dell EMC Networking switch by executing the following command: # ip ssh rsa-authentication my-authorized-keys id_rsa.pub RSA keys added to admin's list of authorized-keys. Delete the file id_rsa.pub : (yes/no) ? yes Step:6 Verify the SSH connection by executing the following command: $ ssh 100.67.170.31 -i .ssh/id_rsa -l admin On Friday, August 11, 2017 at 1:10:45 AM UTC+5:30, Lupe Silva wrote: > > I am looking to use ansible with my Dell X1000 series switches.
