You should not create /tmp directories on Cisco devices that don't
already have them.
We don't know what Cisco devices you have. Typically, you run Cisco
modules using the task level "delegate:" parameter to run them on either
the local host (the ansible controller) or some other host that has
appropriate network access. The modules use the appropriate API to
access the Cisco devices from the delegated host.
The "ping" module you used before is not an ICMP ping. It's a "yes I can
ssh into the remote host and there's an appropriate python installed
there" test. Which for Cisco devices is totally inappropriate anyway.
Walter asked if you were delegating to localhost, and whether your Cisco
devices have a /tmp. You answered "yes", but didn't say which question
you were answering.
If you aren't delegating to either localhost or some other host with
appropriate network access to the Cisco APIs, you will likely not have
success. The Cisco devices I'm aware of will not play nicely with
attempted ssh connections, which is what your "ping" attempt was trying
to do.
Some hosts can be managed by ssh'ing in and using password-less sudo
commands -- that's the common paradigm. Not so with many dedicated
network devices like Cisco. Those you access via an authenticated API
from a designated host ("delegate:") and modules that speak those APIs.

Below is the command :

Hi All
I am getting the error "Failed to create

changing the remote tmp path in ansible.cfg to a
path rooted in \"/tmp\"
Can someone please help me on this?
Thanks
