Hello,

I getting error - “Unsupported parameters for (cli_command) module” when trying to run install activate command in cat9k device.

Below is the playbook snippet:

`

  • name: Run install activate and reload
    block:

  • name: Run install activate
    cli_command:
    commands:

  • command: ‘install activate’
    check_all: True
    prompt:

  • “Press Quit(q) to exit, you may save configuration and re-enter the command”

  • “This operation requires a reload of the system. Do you want to proceed”
    answer:

  • ‘y\r’

  • ‘y\r’
    vars:
    ansible_command_timeout: 1200

  • name: Reload device and wait for connection to establish
    wait_for:
    host: “{{ inventory_hostname }}”
    port: 22
    delay: 60
    timeout: 720

  • name: Show version
    cli_command:
    commands:

  • command: “sh version”
    `

Run the ansible-playbook with -vvv.

Hi Mohanraj,

As the error states, you have defined an unsupported parameter “commands” for cli_command module and your task should look something like below:

- name: run command expecting user confirmation
  cli_command:
    command: show interface summary
    prompt: Press any key to continue
    answer: y
    newline: false

Refer https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/cli_command_module.html
