# Ansible Network | Ansible Network | #network:ansible.com Meeting started by @sagpaul:matrix.org at 2026-02-12 13:01:43 ### Meeting summary 1. TOPIC: Core Updates (@sagpaul:matrix.org, 13:02:18) 1. We would be introducing a new attribute in each collections under the config modules that can take in inputs like `tbd_attribute: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.template', 'basic/config.j2') }}"` 2. INFO: a few attributes are updated as part of cisco.iosxr l3\_interfaces module. [fix:Updated the flow analyzer and monitor configuration parameter processing by AAYUSH2091 · Pull Request #591 · ansible-collections/cisco.iosxr · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/cisco.iosxr/pull/591) (@sagpaul:matrix.org, 13:08:57) 3. INFO: A few template operations are being fixed that impacts filter plugins, [fix: Add Ansible 2.19+ compatibility for template handling and filter plugins by KB-perByte · Pull Request #750 · ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon/pull/750) (@sagpaul:matrix.org, 13:11:55) 4. INFO: network\_cli - When I(ssh\_type) is set to C(paramiko), the connection plugin now uses an in-collection paramiko implementation instead of loading ansible-core's paramiko connection plugin. This allows network\_cli to work with versions of ansible-core, where the paramiko connection plugin was removed. This is done for interset of community where legacy algorithms are needed to connect to applainces. (@sagpaul:matrix.org, 13:13:47) 5. INFO: network\_cli - When ssh\_type is set to paramiko, the connection plugin now uses an in-collection paramiko implementation instead of loading ansible-core's paramiko connection plugin. This allows network\_cli to work with versions of ansible-core, where the paramiko connection plugin was removed. This is done for interset of community where legacy algorithms are needed to connect to applainces. (@sagpaul:matrix.org, 13:14:18) 6. INFO: network\_cli - The in-collection paramiko support used when ssh\_type is paramiko is a compatibility layer for environments where ansible-core's paramiko connection is no longer available. This layer is deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2028-02-01. Migrate to ssh\_type=libssh by installing the ansible-pylibssh package. [WIP paramiko implicit stay in netcommon by KB-perByte · Pull Request #752 · ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible.netcommon/pull/752) Draft PR for the same (@sagpaul:matrix.org, 13:15:50) 2. TOPIC: Open floor (@sagpaul:matrix.org, 13:16:21) 1. HALP: I think the bot wants the other spelling of flag ^halp ?
