It’s pretty basic playbook so not sure why its not working.

  • name: Config Sys
    hosts: router2
    vars:

ansible_network_os: ios
ansible_connection: network_cli
ansible_user: Mxxxxx
ansible_password: password
ansible_become: yes
ansible_become_password: enablepass
ansible_become_method: enable

tasks:

  • name: Do not gather hardware facts
    ios_facts:
    gather_subset:
  • “!hardware”

This is the error output:

The full traceback is:

hi Sharon

not being very well versed with Ansible myself yet this has cought my attention

ansible_become: yes

I would have though this should be only:

become: yes

Thanks for the response but I did confirm with the Network Automation Cookbook that it is indeed supposed to be ansible_become. I did try it though and got this error message.
