Hi All,

I am trying to configure one line command on Mikoritk but getting below error -

  • hosts: routers
    connection: local
    gather_facts: false
    tasks:
  • name: Configure username
    routeros_command:
    commands:
  • user add name=ansible group=full password=test1234
  • quit

“command timeout triggered, timeout value is 60 secs”

I can see ssh login to device but it does not run the command.

here the details of ansible
ansible [core 2.15.9]
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [‘/home/saurav/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
ansible collection location = /home/saurav/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible

According to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/routeros/docsite/ssh-guide.html#important-notes

The community.routeros.command module does not support nesting commands and expects every command to start with a forward slash (/). Running the following command will produce an error:

- community.routeros.command:
    commands:
      - /ip
      - print

It’s the “… and expects every command to start with a forward slash (/)” bit that I suspect is your problem.
While you’re fixing things, use the FQCN: “community.routeros.command”. “[community.network.]routeros_command” is deprecated.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for your reply.

I have used the other script with community.routeros.command and receiving the same error with “/” and without"/"

hosts: routers
connection: local
gather_facts: false
tasks:

  • name: Configure username
    community.routeros.command:
    commands:
  • /user add name=ansible group=full password=test

Any other thought ?
