Folks,

I am aware that native ansible doesn’t support telnet. Do we have any alternate to test playbooks while telnet to network devices in lab environment ?

Thanks

Hi Ashish,

Have you tried the Telnet module?

The docs actually include IOS examples:

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/telnet_module.html

Sample Playbook:

`

root@f23399314267:/ansible_local/cisco_ios# cat telnet.yml
