ERIC_ECCLI Platform Options

    Using CLI in Ansible

    • If you are using SSH keys (including an ssh-agent) you can remove the 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 output), SSH does not support providing passwords via environment variables.

    Example CLI Task

    1.   eric_eccli_command:
    2.      commands: show version
    3.   when: ansible_network_os == 'eric_eccli'
