Using Ansible ios_facts module Here is a simple playbook to gather ios facts. I took the output and pasted it into one of the may JSON lint/editors on line to easily see the structure and then added a debug statement for the key:value pair I wanted. Version in this case. --- - hosts: cisco

HI Julien, I confess I've not used this module for ACL management for many of the reasons you note. Also, the idempotency works at the ACL level but the module at the ACE level and that always worried me. I can see myself checking for one ACE and basically turning my ACL into a one line ACL.

Using `with_items` like you are, you would need to use `search(item)` without the quotes around item. Otherwise "item" is treated as the string item, instead of the variable called item. On Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 4:55 PM, John Harmon wrote: > The commented section of the following code works. I
