Hello there Was wondering if anyone has experience of using ansible with Huawei successfully? We are using Huawei at our IX and I am able to use ad-hoc commands with Huawei but playbooks based on documentation fail with a ncclient related error. We do have nc client as well as netconf installed on the machine. Our sample playbook (IP and access details are removed) ---

The error you are seeing is coming from ncclient library. Are you able to connect to the device using a sample python script that uses ncclinet library? Reference python script: [https://github.com/ncclient/ncclient/blob/master/examples/nc01.py](https://github.com/ncclient/ncclient/blob/master/examples/nc01.py) Regards, Ganesh ---

Hi Yes, tried that and it failed as well. Turned out netconf was not enabled at the device and for some reason I am not able to enable it either. Checking for device compatibility with netconf for now. Anyways, thanks for your help and input Ganesh.
