Hi, Can anyone share how to use the provided asa\_command module to get into enable mode with Ansible 2.5 ? I’m reading this: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/modules/asa\_command\_module.html#asa-command](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/modules/asa_command_module.html#asa-command) … and trying many different ways, but no joy. Regards, Rick ---

I’m still learning more about this, but I have found that by using the following on the command line I can get the playbook into enable mode: ansible-playbook -v -u admin -kK -e ansible\_network\_os=asa -e ansible\_become\_method=enable -e ansible\_become=True testfw\_dir.yml ---

Playbook or ad-hoc?
