This is a network related issue, and not related to ansible: _ **Unable to connect to port 22 on 10.10.100.31"** _ From Ansible controller try to ping or do telnet on the above machine on port 22 and past the output here. Example: telnet 10.10.100.31 22 You are not able to reach that machine, that is causing the grief. Regards, Ameya ---
