Hello,

Anyone using iosxr\_bgp? If yes, can you share a sample working playbook?

I built one using example given here: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/iosxr\_bgp\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/iosxr_bgp_module.html) but it doesn’t work.

My test playbook

Hi Anurag,

Based on the error message, it seems you’re passing `provider` dict. This not supported. {ios, eos, iosxr, frr}\_bgp modules support only ansible\_connection: network\_cli and not ansible\_connection: local.

Thanks!

That was exactly the problem. Changed to ansible\_connection: network\_cli and it worked.  
Hope to see the same dependency on the module documentation page.

Thanks, Nilashish!
