Ansible: CLI Kommandos auf Cisco Devices ausführen und Ausgaben speichern

Beispiel Playbook exec_command.yaml:

---
- hosts: switch1
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False
  vars:
    cli:
      host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
      username: "{{ ansible_user }}"
      password: "{{ ansible_ssh_pass }}"

  tasks:
  - name: Call show inventory
    ios_command:
      commands: show inventory
      provider: "{{ cli }}"
    register: output

  - name: Store output to file
    copy:
      content="{{ output.stdout[0] }}"
      dest="out/inventory_{{ inventory_hostname }}.txt"

Mit „ios_command“ lassen sich Kommandos auf der CLI ausführen und die Ausgabe weiterverwenden. In dem Beispiel wird die Ausgabe in einer Datei gespeichert.

ansible-playbook -i hosts.yaml exec_command.yaml -v
