This might solve your issue: https://medium.com/@andrewhowdencom/the-curious-case-of-sudden-ansible-build-failures-eef1cf9ad1d0

If it doesn't, can you also post the file permissions and content of ansible.cfg and ios_facts.yml?

First of all, try executing this command: "chmod 700 /etc/ansible" and run the playbook again (since you are using network_cli as connection type, I assume you also defined ansible_network_os as ios)

Suggestions:

1. Don't use the default ansible.cfg file, it's too big to track all the changes we made

2. "https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/index.html" is a good place to start if you haven't checked already

"I think I have a problem with ssh but i do not understand how to fix it" - Can you directly ssh to the device from the VM you are using?

Let me know if that works.

Regards,

Ajay

Hi Ajay,

Tried to chmod 700, it gave me the following error

test@TESTVM:/etc$ sudo chmod 700 /etc/ansible

sudo: /etc/sudoers is world writable

sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

I think I have bigger issue than Ansible now, it is a permission issue on Ubuntu box, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I don't know any straight forward fix.

So, did chmod 700 on /etc/ansible work? Is the playbook still giving the same error after the file permissions were changed?

Hi Michael,

By looking at this error : "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: 6008...@10.11.32.100: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive,password).\r\n", "unreachable": true it seems like your ansible VM can not SSH to the cisco switch in the first place.

Does normal SSH to the switch work? like if you do ssh user...@10.11.32.100 . If it doesn't work, you have to fix that first. Maybe the switch is allowing connections only from particular IP addresses.

Regards,

Ajay

Hi Ajay,

If username is 60081064, it works, if root, it does not.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

"ansble all -m ping , it gives the same error Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive,password)" doesn't work because ansible ping module requires the remote node to run python. You can find more about it here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/ping_module.html#ping-module

So, it works for your username, and based on "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: 6008...@10.11.32.100: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive,password)" ansible is using the correct username. Where are you defining your password? In the hosts file? If that is the case, hash the password in the hosts file and use -k option instead ( ansible-playbook ios.yml -k ) and enter the password manually just to eliminate one source of the problem.

If that doesn't work, revert the changes and get the output of "ansible-playbook ios.yml -vvvv " command. It could help us find the source of the issue.

Regards,

Ajay

At this point, I am almost out of ideas. I am sorry, I couldn't be of much help.

One last thing you might want to try is turning of "gathering facts". Some devices have issues with that. You can do that by entering "gathering = explicit" in the ansible.cfg file.

Ajay

Hi Ajay,

I managed to fix my script as below:

---

- name: show version

hosts: "switches"

gather_facts: false

connection: local

vars:

backup_root: /etc/ansible/backups

cli:

host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

username: msawires

password: Irukandji.=

tasks:

- name: GATHERING INFO

ios_command:

commands:

- command: sh run | i hostname

- command: sh ip int brief | i 10.11.64

- command: sh ver | i Model Number|System Serial

provider: "{{ cli }}"

register: config

- copy:

content: "{{ config.stdout[0] }}"

dest: "{{ backup_root }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}/running-config_{{ timestamp.stdout }}"

...

My problem now is I can save only first command, cannot save the other two in file, do you have any suggestion how to save all commands output in one file?

Thank you,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I am glad you found a solution. I see that you are only taking the output of stdout[0] under copy task. Since your config will have the output of multiple commands you might need config.stdout[1] and config.stdout[2] as well.

You can use something like the following to capture all your output in one file,

- copy:

content: "{{ config.stdout[0] }}"

dest: "your destination"

- blockinfile: |

dest: "your destination"

content= "{{ config.stdout[1] }}"

- blockinfile: |

dest: "your destination"

content="{{ output.stdout[2] }}"

There might be a more efficient and better solution than this, but this is what I found so far.

Regards,

Ajay
