Ansible : get running config from aruba switches

Archives Ansible Project
1

Hello,

I’m new user of ansible and for the first projet, I would to get current config of aruba (2930F) switches (for backup).

I read these documentations :

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/network/getting_started/first_playbook.html

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/aruba_config_module.html

For the debug, I test with this commande :

ansible all -i swautc02, -c network_cli -u manager -m aruba_config -e ansible_network_os=aruba -vvvv --private-key=bkpkey.key

but return :

ansible 2.5.0 (stable-2.5 955ef020ef) last updated 2018/04/12 16:44:14 (GMT +200)

The full traceback is:

raise socket.timeout()
timeout
swautc02 | FAILED! => {
“msg”: “”
}

I check log on the aruba switch and I see :

I 04/13/18 12:55:00 03363 auth: User ‘manager’ logged out of SSH session from
172.20.0.25
I 04/13/18 12:54:59 00179 mgr: SME SSH from 172.20.0.25 - MANAGER Mode
I 04/13/18 12:54:49 03344 ssh: User manager : SSH session established with
public-key authentication

Can you help me for this problem ?

Best regards,

I don't use Aruba switches, but to me it looks like aruba_config is for setting config not getting it.

Thank for your response,

I think use backup parameter on aruba_config. The parameter allow you to get running-config and backup file to the backup folder in playbook directory.
