Hello all,

I am configuring Cisco Router through Ansible tower(2.9).  
I am able to take backup of the Running configuration in file.  
How can i push back the same running configuration through file in the router.  
Please some one help with yaml code for this…

- name: load configuration  
Cisco.ios.ios\_config:  
src: path to your source file ( same backup file)

Let me know if it works
