Re: [ansible-project] No output from Cisco router

[Peter Sprygada]

run with -v (or -vvv) to see the output of the task on the command line

use register to further process the output (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_variables.html#registered-variables)

Hi,

I am also facing a similar problem.  The output says "register" is not supported for ios_command module.  Any idea on this?  I am running the latest ansible version 2.4.2.0.  If I don't use the register command, the playbook executes successfully, so the error is only caused by register/stdout related commands.

Appreciate any help.

register is a directive for the task and not the module.
So the register is indented to spaces to much, it should be on the same level as ios_command, delegate_to and name.

Excellent!  Many thanks for the pointer and it is working now.  Is there any link that you could provide me regarding the best practices for indendations?

You have the YAML specification that says it must be space and you need
to be consistent on the number of spaces you use.

For Ansible you have the list[1] that list all directives and where you
can use them.
What you can use on the module it self is documented under each module.

So for register, you'll not find that documented under ios_command so
you can't have under the module. But if you check the link you'll see
that register on can be used on the task.

The error message really points out the mistake in your playbook.

Should be "commands" instead of "command", probably?

HTH,

Hello Kazi,

The following error indicates that during the execution of ios_command module an unsupported parameter 'command' was found. Do check the Ansible document [1] for the support parameters in the ios_command module.

    --------------------------------------

    "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (ios_command) module: command Supported parameters include: auth_pass, authorize, commands, host, interval, match, password, port, provider, retries, ssh_keyfile, timeout, username, wait_for"

    --------------------------------------

After looking at your playbook 'command' is not supported in ios_command module 'commands' is the correct parameter.

For your reference below is the snippet of how the code should look:

    --------------------------------------

    ...

    tasks:

    - name: First Task

        ios_command:

            commands: show version

    ...

    --------------------------------------

Reference:

[1] ios_command module - http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/ios_command_module.html
