Very first time Network Engineer user - ping module needs to connect with SSH to work?

[Greg Focaccio]

Hi All,

First time getting into any kind of automation -starting with Ansible.

Odd results for me.  What is going on?

Thanks,

Greg

does the other end have your public keys for the user you are running ansible? or the ssh keys loaded??

AUTOMATION PRACTICE

 

[Uwe Sauter]

The ping module is not the classical ping command but an Ansible module that will connetc to the remote host via SSH and send back
a "pong" if that succeeds. See the docs.


If you want to use the classical ping command you need to use the "command" or "shell" module to call that from Ansible; but
beware that this task needs to be run on localhost to reflect what you would usually do on the command line.

If you check the documentation[1] it clearly state the following.


ping - Try to connect to host, verify a usable python and return pong
on success
- This is NOT ICMP ping, this is just a trivial test module that
requires Python on the remote-node.

Hi,

Welcome to the Ansible Community

We have some Ansible Network getting started documentation which maybe a good place to start https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/

Kind regards,
