RouterOS Platform Options
***************************************
RouterOS is part of the `community.network <https://galaxy.ansible.com/community/network>`_ collection and only supports CLI connections today. ``httpapi`` modules may be added in future.
This page offers details on how to use ``ansible.netcommon.network_cli`` on RouterOS in Ansible.

==================== ==========================================
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: ansible.network.network_cli``
|enable_mode| not supported by RouterOS
Returned Data Format ``stdout[0].``
==================== ==========================================
.. |enable_mode| replace:: Enable Mode |br| (Privilege Escalation)
RouterOS does not support ``ansible_connection: local``. You must use ``ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli``.
Using CLI in Ansible
====================
Example CLI ``group_vars/routeros.yml``
---------------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli
ansible_network_os: community.network.routeros
ansible_user: myuser
ansible_password: !vault...
ansible_become: yes
ansible_become_method: enable
ansible_become_password: !vault...
ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bastion01"'
- 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.
- If you are getting timeout errors you may want to add ``+cet1024w`` suffix to your username which will disable console colors, enable "dumb" mode, tell RouterOS not to try detecting terminal capabilities and set terminal width to 1024 columns. See article `Console login process <https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Console_login_process>`_ in MikroTik wiki for more information.
Example CLI task
----------------
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: Display resource statistics (routeros)
community.network.routeros_command:
commands: /system resource print
register: routeros_resources
when: ansible_network_os == 'community.network.routeros'
