Hi all,

I’m using Ansible for network tasks, I would like to know if I can use Ansible to configure a network device having a device in the middle.

This is what I mean.

Ansible Server —\> Cisco Device —\> Target.

I would like to know if this is possible.

The general idea is covered at [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference\_appendices/faq.html#how-do-i-configure-a-jump-host-to-access-servers-that-i-have-no-direct-access-to](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/faq.html#how-do-i-configure-a-jump-host-to-access-servers-that-i-have-no-direct-access-to)

Hello ,

Sorry I explained my self wrong.

Ansible Server —\> Cisco Device —\> Target.

To the “Target” I dont have access directly from my Ansible Server, thats why I was looking how I can access it from a “Cisco device”

that I have access.

Thanks.
