Hi, there;

In order to upgrade IOS-XR software, I need to copy IOS-XR image files to IOS-XR device. I was able to do it using scp from a Linux server CLI.

However, I’d like to do it using Ansible playbook. Already tried net\_put and copy module but no luck. Has anyone been able to make it work successfully ? Would appreciate if the know how is shared.

Retrieving info using gather\_facts or iosxr\_commands works fine.

Here are my environment;

Ansible : 2.9.4

IOS-XR Version : 7.2.1.21I

Python version : 3.6.8

Thanks,

Joon.
