Synopsis
- Sends arbitrary commands to an SR OS node and returns the results read from the device. This module includes an argument that will cause the module to wait for a specific condition before returning or timing out if the condition is not met.
- This module does not support running commands in configuration mode. Please use community.network.sros_config to configure SR OS devices.
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
commands string / required | List of commands to send to the remote SR OS device over the configured provider. The resulting output from the command is returned. If the wait_for argument is provided, the module is not returned until the condition is satisfied or the number of retries has expired. | ||
interval string | Default: 1 | Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command. If the command does not pass the specified conditions, the interval indicates how long to wait before trying the command again. | |
match string |
| The match argument is used in conjunction with the wait_for argument to specify the match policy. Valid values are all or any . If the value is set to all then all conditionals in the wait_for must be satisfied. If the value is set to any then only one of the values must be satisfied. | |
provider dictionary | A dict object containing connection details. | ||
host string / required | Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport. | ||
password string | Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. | ||
port integer | Default: 22 | Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. | |
ssh_keyfile path | Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. | ||
timeout integer | Default: 10 | Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. | |
username string | Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. | ||
retries string | Default: 10 | Specifies the number of retries a command should by tried before it is considered failed. The command is run on the target device every retry and evaluated against the wait_for conditions. | |
wait_for string | List of conditions to evaluate against the output of the command. The task will wait for each condition to be true before moving forward. If the conditional is not true within the configured number of retries, the task fails. See examples. aliases: waitfor |

Examples
# Note: examples below use the following provider dict to handle # transport and authentication to the node. --- vars: cli: host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" username: admin password: admin transport: cli --- tasks: - name: Run show version on remote devices community.network.sros_command: commands: show version provider: "{{ cli }}" - name: Run show version and check to see if output contains sros community.network.sros_command: commands: show version wait_for: result[0] contains sros provider: "{{ cli }}" - name: Run multiple commands on remote nodes community.network.sros_command: commands: - show version - show port detail provider: "{{ cli }}" - name: Run multiple commands and evaluate the output community.network.sros_command: commands: - show version - show port detail wait_for: - result[0] contains TiMOS-B-14.0.R4 provider: "{{ cli }}"
Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
