I have a situation my script is

hosts: Branch
gather_facts: false
connection: local

tasks:

  • name: Facts
    ios_command:
    commands:

  • show inter gi0/0
    register: output

  • debug:
    msg: “{{ output.stdout_lines }}”

The output is like…

"GigabitEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up “,
" Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is d8b1.
" Description: LAN”,
" MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit/sec, DLY 100 usec, ",

You could use ansible-network.network-engine's command_parser. The example is on show interfaces.

I published more example on my github: https://github.com/kvernNC/cisco_config_parser/blob/master/README.md

As I said , the documentation is about what your trying to do : https://github.com/ansible-network/network-engine/blob/devel/docs/user_guide/command_parser.md, but on show interfaces with a loop, not on a specific interface.

For your example, without loop, It should be something like this (not tested) :

1°) playbook

hosts: Branch
gather_facts: false
connection: local

tasks:

  • name: Facts
    ios_command:
    commands:

  • show inter gi0/0
    register: output

  • command_parser:
    file: “parser_templates/ios/show_interfaces.yaml”
    content: “{{ output.stdout.0 }}”

  • debug:
    var: input_rate.matches

  • debug:
    var: output_rate.matches

2°) content of the template:
