Description

Sends arbitrary commands to a Extreme Ironware node and returns the results read from the device. This module includes a I(wait_for) argument that will cause the module to wait for a specific condition before returning or timing out if the condition is not met.

Usage examples

  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
- ironware_command:
    commands:
      - show version
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
- ironware_command:
    commands:
      - show interfaces brief wide
      - show mpls vll

Inputs

    
match:
    choices:
    - any
    - all
    default: all
    description:
    - The I(match) argument is used in conjunction with the I(wait_for) argument to specify
      the match policy. If the value is set to C(all) then all conditionals in the I(wait_for)
      must be satisfied.  If the value is set to C(any) then only one of the values must
      be satisfied.

retries:
    default: 10
    description:
    - 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 I(wait_for) conditions.

commands:
    description:
    - List of commands to send to the remote device over the configured provider. The
      resulting output from the command is returned. If the I(wait_for) argument is provided,
      the module is not returned until the condition is satisfied or the number of retires
      as expired.
    required: true

interval:
    default: 1
    description:
    - 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.

provider:
    description:
    - B(Deprecated)
    - 'Starting with Ansible 2.7 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli) and C(become:
      yes).'
    - For more information please see the L(IronWare Platform Options guide, ../network/user_guide/platform_ironware.html).
    - HORIZONTALLINE
    - A dict object containing connection details.
    suboptions:
      auth_pass:
        description:
        - Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote
          device.  If I(authorize) is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value
          is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS)
          will be used instead.
        type: str
      authorize:
        default: false
        description:
        - Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending
          any commands.  If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands
          in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value
          of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE) will be used instead.
        type: bool
      host:
        description:
        - 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.
        type: str
      password:
        description:
        - 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 C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will
          be used instead.
        type: str
      port:
        default: 22
        description:
        - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
        type: int
      ssh_keyfile:
        description:
        - 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 C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE)
          will be used instead.
        type: path
      timeout:
        default: 10
        description:
        - Specifies idle timeout in seconds for the connection, in seconds. Useful if

      username:
        description:
        - 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 C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME)
          will be used instead.
        type: str
    type: dict

wait_for:
    description:
    - 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.

authorize:
    default: false
