cisco ios_config

Hi,

I am trying to get some experience using the cisco ios_config module. I want to get a diff between the running config and a master config.

playbook snippet is:

tasks:

  • name: Check running config against master config
    ios_config:
    diff_against: intended
    intended_config: “{{ lookup(‘file’, ‘master.cfg’) }}”
    register: result

  • debug:
    var: result

but all I get is:

TASK [Check running config against master config] ******************************
13:53:37

7
ok: [192.168.10.250]

8

9
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
13:53:40

10
ok: [192.168.10.250] => {

11
“result”: {

12
“ansible_facts”: {

13
“discovered_interpreter_python”: “/usr/libexec/platform-python”

The running config certainly doesn’t match the master config that I am providing - I know I am getting logged in and escalated to enable, I can do a show ver and run ios_command

I’ve been trying to do this on and off for days and trying different things, but I eventually always just end up with this. :frowning:

Thanks
