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:

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.
