Good afternoon all, my apologies for posting but I have been stopped at this point with no result for a few days. I have installed Ansible 1.9.1 and , I believe, all required dependencies on CentOS 7 , I am looking to use Ansible to manage Junos equpment and installed the Juniper.junos module along with its dependencies.
When I try to connect to my hosts via ansible ping module I am having an SSH issue. From my Ansible server I can directly SSH to the Junos devices that I want to manage using the public rsa key loaded into my Junos config for login “matt”. But when I run the ping module I am unable to complete the test. Here is my output…
[root@localhost /]# ansible all -m ping -vvvv

}
I also tried ping as root to the Junos devices using the -u and -k options, again I can connect directly via SSH, but when I run “ping” or a playbook referencing “ping” then enter the password I also cannot connect.
Can someone help?
