default ansible template returns error

do Ansible in default configuration works with other vendors? For example Huawei ?

If i'm running some testing commands like:

sudo ansible -m shell -a 'display version' servers

it just connects and immediatly disconnects without entering any command, like "display version". Could it be because im running it not on Cisco device, but on other vendor ? Maybe some special modules ir required ?

Thanks

回答1:

Have you confirmed you can connect to those machines normally via ssh? Have you created an ansible account on the machines your trying to connect to? It sounds like the user account that is trying to run ansible on your host, perhaps doesn't have an ssh key on the host. Have you tried

ssh-copy-id ansible@host

and confirmed you can log into that host

ssh ansible@host

with the key?

You can use other module different from 'shell' to access Huawei equipaments. If you look here you will see some Cloud Engine modules. Shell module is for servers, not for switches.

So, I'll would write something like this: ansible -m ce_command -a 'display version' servers
