I think your question is: how do I use a jumphost to manage systems that are not directly reachable. That topic (among others) is covered here at the faq page: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference\_appendices/faq.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/faq.html) Also read [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/connection\_details.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/connection_details.html)
