Connections Available
================================================================================
.. table::
:class: documentation-table
==================== ==========================================
.. CLI
==================== ==========================================
Protocol SSH
Credentials uses SSH keys / SSH-agent if present
accepts ``-u myuser -k`` if using password
Indirect Access via a bastion (jump host)
Connection Settings ``ansible_connection: network_cli``
|enable_mode| not supported
Returned Data Format ``stdout[0].``
==================== ==========================================
.. |enable_mode| replace:: Enable Mode |br| (Privilege Escalation)
Using CLI in Ansible
====================
Example CLI ``group_vars/frr.yml``
----------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
ansible_connection: network_cli
ansible_network_os: frr
ansible_user: frruser
ansible_password: !vault...
ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bastion01"'
- The `ansible_user` should be a part of the `frrvty` group and should have the default shell set to `/bin/vtysh`.
- If you are using SSH keys (including an ssh-agent) you can remove the ``ansible_password`` configuration.
- If you are accessing your host directly (not through a bastion/jump host) you can remove the ``ansible_ssh_common_args`` configuration.
- If you are accessing your host through a bastion/jump host, you cannot include your SSH password in the ``ProxyCommand`` directive. To prevent secrets from leaking out (for example in ``ps`` output), SSH does not support providing passwords via environment variables.
Example CLI Task
----------------
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: Gather FRR facts
frr_facts:
gather_subset:
- config
- hardware
.. include:: shared_snippets/SSH_warning.txt
