Hi,
I am the OP and i just got an idea for my above question. Do you think
below script might solve my issue?
-
name: PLAYBOOK FOR STANDBY FIREWALL UPGRADE
hosts: STANDBYFIREWALL
serial: 1
gather_facts: false
connection: network_cli
tasks:
-
name: End playbook if connection IP is not defined
meta: end_host
when: {{ ansible_host }} is not defined
Thanks,
Vikram
