Hello,

I’m new to AWX and I’m trying to run a simple playbook against one network device(Allied Telesis awplus). I’m getting this error saying network OS awplus is not supported.

{  
“msg”: “network os awplus is not supported”,  
“\_ansible\_no\_log”: false  
}

I’m using Git as my SCM type and I have collections/requirements.yml in my Git repository to install collections for “awplus”. When I use Ansible itself, my playbook runs fine and changes are made on the device.  
Below are my requirements.yml and inventory file. I’ve attached a file with more logs.  
Could anyone help with this issue?

Best regards,  
Kana

Do you really need to define network\_os ?  
There is always a bit of struggle for me to figure out which combo of `ansible_connection` and `network_os` works.

But if this works locally with identical configuration …

I believe without defining network\_os or using ansible\_connection in the inventory file, Ansible fails to run the playbook.

Could it be the case that installing galaxy collection is not done correctly on my end…?  
I cannot run playbooks on awplus devices without its galaxy collection.

Thanks,
