Thank you in advance!
I’m new to Ansible and am trying to use it to pull info and manage a couple hundred ICX switches. Ansible version I’m using is 2.16.11. I’m running older, but completely supported, firmware on my ICX switches 08.0.95p. I installed the ICX modules using “ansible-galaxy collection install commscope.icx”. These ICX modules I’ve installed state that they’ve been tested with 10.1, but on the main Github readme it shows as tested with 8.0.95. I’m not sure if the problem i’m having is an incompatibility between these modules and the version of ICX firmware I’m running or if I’m making an error myself.
I have successfully setup ssh key authentication. It gives an enabled prompt upon login. I’ve also successfully run a ping playbook returning pong for each switch.
When I run my test playbook, the 1st automatic Gather Facts is successful, but when I run my play to gather facts, I get an error.
Playbook File:
- hosts: switch1
- name: Collectfacts
commscope.icx.icx_facts:
gather_subset: interfaces
- name: Collectfacts
Here is the output of the playbook command I’m running:
