Hello;

I wanted to update switch cisco by ansible. To copy the ios image from SFTP server, the playbook deployment will display the following error:

FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Unsupported parameters for (ios\_command) module: register Supported parameters include: auth\_pass, authorize, commands, host, interval, match, password, port, provider, retries, ssh\_keyfile, timeout, username, wait\_for”}

ansible --version:

ansible 2.9.9  
config file = /etc/ansible/cisco/test/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [u’/etc/ansible/ntc-ansible/ntc-ansible/library’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible  
executable location = /bin/ansible  
python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 7 2019, 00:51:29) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)

group\_vars:

new\_ios : c2960s.152-2.E8.bin

pswd : xxxx

Playbook:

- name: Upgrade IOS  
hosts: host

host: “{{ host }}”

tasks:

- name: Copy IOS to flash

ios\_command:  
command: “scp -p 22 sftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/{{ new\_ios }} bootflash:”  
username: “{{ name }}”  
password: “{{ pswd }}”  
prompt: ‘[{{ new\_ios }}]’  
answer: “\r”  
register: config

- debug: msg=“{{ config.stdout }}”

vars:  
ansible\_command\_timeout: 18000  
delay\_factor: 12

Thank you in advance for your proposals.

Regards.

Apparently ios\_command module accepts commands (in plural) instead of command.
