I have installed Ansible Tower on RHEL 8 and trying to do a check for a particular piece of configuration on a Juniper vsrx device but get this error message …

“msg”: “Could not open socket to perimeter-firewall:830”,  
“\_ansible\_no\_log”: false

I have enabled netconf on the juniper vsrx and connect from the ansible host using this command

ssh root@ \< ip address \> -p 830 -s netconf which gives me this output …
