Ansible : get running config from aruba switches

[Martial CHAVIGNY]

Hello,

I'm new user of ansible and for the first projet, I would to get current config of aruba (2930F) switches (for backup).

I read these documentations :

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/network/getting_started/first_playbook.html

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/aruba_config_module.html

For the debug, I test with this commande :

ansible all -i swautc02, -c network_cli -u manager -m aruba_config -e ansible_network_os=aruba -vvvv --private-key=bkpkey.key

but return :

ansible 2.5.0 (stable-2.5 955ef020ef) last updated 2018/04/12 16:44:14 (GMT +200)

I check log on the aruba switch and I see :

I 04/13/18 12:55:00 03363 auth: User 'manager' logged out of SSH  session from
            172.20.0.25

I 04/13/18 12:54:49 03344 ssh: User manager : SSH session established with
            public-key authentication

Can you help me for this problem ?

Best regards,

I don't use Aruba switches, but to me it looks like aruba_config is for setting config not getting it.

Thank for your response,

I think use backup parameter on aruba_config. The parameter allow you to get running-config and backup file to the backup folder in playbook directory.
