Cisco smartport macros

[berti]

Hi,

I've tried to configure Cisco smartport macros via ansible mit ios_config/cli_config.

Both failed with an timeout.

 

It looks like this on the serial console:

TN_00sw03(config)#macro auto execute TEST1_CISCO_SWITCH  {  
{..} > if [[ $LINKUP == YES ]]  
then.else.fi> then
then.else.fi>  conf t  
then.else.fi>   interface  $INTERFACE  
then.else.fi>   description linkupmacro  
then.else.fi>   exit  
then.else.fi>  end
then.else.fi> fi  
{..} > if [[ $LINKUP == NO ]]  
then.else.fi> then
then.else.fi>  conf t  
then.else.fi>   interface  $INTERFACE  
then.else.fi>   description linkdownmacro  
then.else.fi>   exit  
then.else.fi>  end  
then.else.fi> fi  
{..} >}
TN_00sw03(config)#exit

My Playbook:

---
- name : set Macros
  hosts: switches
  connection: network_cli
  gather_facts: true

  tasks:
  - debug:
     msg: "{{lookup('template', 'test1.j2')}}"

  - name: cli test
    cli_config:
     config: "{{lookup('template', 'test1.j2')}}"
     multiline_delimiter: "@"

My template:

macro auto execute TEST1_CISCO_SWITCH  {  
 if [[ $LINKUP == YES ]]  
 then
  conf t  
   interface  $INTERFACE  
   description linkupmacro  
   exit  
  end  
 fi  
 if [[ $LINKUP == NO ]]  
 then
  conf t  
   interface  $INTERFACE  
   description linkdownmacro  
   exit  
  end  
 fi
}
@

Ansible console output:

 

~/dev/cisco_ios_macros  ansible-playbook set_macros.yml -l TN_00sw03  -k -u ansible -v

TN_00sw03     : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0  

It does not work either with ios_config nor cli_config. It always times out. I think it's due to the prompt which is different to the usual cisco prompt. 

Anyone who knows an solution?
