Hi,

My goal is to pull down the running config. At this point, I’m just trying to run some simple tests on HP 5400zl Series switches.  
I’m using ansible 2.1.1.0 on Centos7.

I get different results depending on the connection type and both fail at a point I’m not sure how to troubleshoot.The only real clue I see here is “debug3: mux\_client\_read\_packet: read header failed: Broken pipe”. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this more or other parameters to tweak? I do have “host\_key\_checking=false”

Thanks.
