Description

This command module allows running one or more commands on a remote device running EdgeOS, such as the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter.

This module does not support running commands in configuration mode.

Certain C(show) commands in EdgeOS produce many lines of output and use a custom pager that can cause this module to hang. If the value of the environment variable C(ANSIBLE_EDGEOS_TERMINAL_LENGTH) is not set, the default number of 10000 is used.

This is a network module and requires C(connection: network_cli) in order to work properly.

For more information please see the L(Network Guide,../network/getting_started/index.html).
