Hello everyone, I am new in ansible. Therefore I have a question about editing the ansible.cfg. I am running a couple of server on different non-standard ssh ports e.g. 55500 55008 55012 etc. How can I configure that in the ansible.cfg? I already tried with seperated , Thanks in advance Igor ---

It’s better to specify host port for each host in your inventory or you can grouping host by port number ---

Hi Igor, non-standard SSH ports typically go into the inventory, not into ansible.cfg. You can do either     [somegroup]     somehost:2222 or     [somegroup]     somehost ansible\_port=2222 See     [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/intro\_inventory.html#assigning-a-variable-to-one-machine-host-variables](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html#assigning-a-variable-to-one-machine-host-variables) for more details.

I would recommend looking into the inventory file.
