Ansible version : 2.9
Python version : 3.7.5
I also tried many times with sftp or scp with ios_command module but no
luck. Instead, as shown below, net_put successfully copied the file over to
the Cisco switch. The ansible_ssh_user and ansible_ssh_pass needs to be set
in inventory file.
One issue I'm facing with the net_put module is that next task using
ios_command after the copying fails to be executed. It gave error message
"ConnectionError(to_text(msg, errors='surrogate_then_replace'), code=code)".
- name: Upgrade NM switch Firmware
hosts: nm_switch
connection: network_cli
remote_user: cisco
- name: Copy over ios image
net_put:
src: "{{ nm_sw_image_file }}" # Need ansible_ssh_user and
ansible_ssh_pass set up.
vars:
ansible_command_timeout: 3600 # default time out is 30 sec. Image copy
takes about 30 min
