Hello,

I am writing simple playbook to add configuration in Cisco 2800 router using jinja2 templates,Where I am able to generate Configuration file using Template module.But after generating the configuration file i.e. shubham.J2 i am getting the following error while pushing configurations to device.

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: cnlabs(config)#
fatal: [192.168.3.65]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “module_stderr”: “Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/tmp/ansible_HV_5qu/ansible_module_ios_template.py", line 174, in \n main()\n File "/tmp/ansible_HV_5qu/ansible_module_ios_template.py", line 165, in main\n response = module.config(commands)\n File "/tmp/ansible_HV_5qu/ansible_modlib.zip/ansible/module_utils/netcfg.py", line 54, in call\n File "/tmp/ansible_HV_5qu/ansible_modlib.zip/ansible/module_utils/ios.py", line 194, in configure\n File "/tmp/ansible_HV_5qu/ansible_modlib.zip/ansible/module_utils/shell.py", line 250, in execute\nansible.module_utils.network.NetworkError: matched error in response: configure terminal\r\n ^\r\n% Invalid input detected at ‘^’ marker.\r\n\r\ncnlabs(config)#\n”, “module_stdout”: “”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE”}

my configuration file looks like:(shubham.j2)

configure terminal
interface fastEthernet 0/0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit

I am using ios_template module in my playbook to push configurations in to Device.Can anyone help me to solve this error.

Hi,
Can you please provide

  1. ansible-playbook --version

  2. Can you correctly run any tasks on the Cisco 2800 router using Ansible, or do they all fail?

  3. Can you please provide copy and paste the task (from your play book) along with and group or host vars (remembering to delete any passwords)
