Thanks for sharing. A quick hit about vi editor: if you're looking for a specific word or string within a large file, instead of scrolling up and down to find that string, just press ":/" without quotes and type desired string after / and hit enter. It will take cursor to first occurrence of that string. Then you hit "n" key (short for next) to jump through all other occurrences of that string. This may save you some time in the future.
Idk if you still check out comments on your old videos, but when I'm burned out, you save me. I always feel more motivated after watching a video on your channel, and that works for any video. Thanks, man.
Video is pure gold, thank you! However, I spent hours troubleshooting why mine wouldn't work. In the end I realized I could not even access the Cisco environments with putty so tip for anyone having trouble, make sure you can access/login to the Cisco devices via SSH before tearing your hair out! Not sure why but the next morning I was able to login and Voila! success! The Tiger King lives!
I owe a LOT to you. You make these intricate things, soooo easy to grasp and make me fall in love with them. Really appreciate the efforts, you put in, to make these high quality content. 😍😍
Thanks for this. I have a web development project I am doing for the ISP that I work for that will be using nodejs and ansible to create configs and more. This was a big help in thinking of design for that project. Now I know what I have to build to generate all the pieces needed for ansible.
FYI, you need to tell it to save the config. If the switch has lost of power, the configs will not stick. You need to issue: - name: Save running-config ios_config: save_when: modified OR - name: Save running-config ios_command: commands: wr
Just a note?...when I turned on "Line Numbering" the entry you mention?..was at line 71.....I guess it might be different for others if they have larger monitors or extend their window borders...but that's where it was for me...
Hey Network Chuck! Newbie to your channel. Loving the beard. Loving the content. Loving the presentation .You're a credit to the industry, like a young Jeremy Cioara.
Thank you for the input on how to start with Ansible. I did follow the logic and created my own lab with AOScx images. I am looking for some guidance to get over a challenge where the ansible module loaded on Ubuntu is unable to ping the switch. I can do both ping & ssh from Ubuntu to switch but it's not working via the ansible module. ansible version- [core 2.12.2] Python= 3.8.10 jinja ver= 2.10.1
this example does one command to many, but if you have many different commands to many different network devices, how would you implement that without doing this to each many different command?
Nice Video guy. Chen using vi it is possible to remove a character using the command x by just hitting x. It is not required to go to vi‘s insert mode. Just see this as a small hint. Regards. 👍
Hi. It was really simple and I had a great learning experience. Do devnet provide us lab access for cisco firewall devices. If yes, please help us to set up all rules using ansible.
Merci pour ce partage énorme, toutefois ce qui me cause le problème c'est comment émuler cet environnement, autrement dit ces routeurs auquels vous vous connectez sont des vrais ou juste emulés sous GNS3, et si oui, comment vous pouvez ajouter une machine linux sur GNS3 pour installer ansible. Merci
il y'a des appliances network automation disponible sur le market place de gns 3 avec ansible deja installé , ou encore à defaut , vous pouvez installer une vm sur votre pc , y deployer ansible , et importer l'applicance sur gns3 , puis faire le mapping de l'interface eth2 a du cloud de la gns3vm avec le pont qu pc et faire pareil sur la vm ainsi ils pourront communiquer directement . vous pouvez aussi le faire directement via le cloud gns3 sans importer la vm sous gns3 elle communiquera quand meme avec gns3
another good video but you probably forget to add initial step and i know why because you were using the sandboxes but you probably should have mentioned that we need to enable the SSH on the target devices and allowed the ssh via firewall if there is any in there before you can make the ansible to play its magic, hope it makes sense, not correcting you but adding the point.
Couldn't you just use something like Cisco Prime Infrastructure to get all this information and manage these routers and switches? I get that it's an expensive appliance tho... Is Ansible free? Thanks for your videos
@NetworkChuck, I'm trying to erase this symbol "#" that you say in the minute 3:23, but the editor don't let me do it. It says "Error writing ansible.cfg: Permission denied". What can I do in this situation? I'm using Centos 8.1 on a VM in a VMWare Workstation 15 player. Thanks for your answer in advance.
Great video! You mentioned that Ansible is a push model .. Is there a tool at the ansible quality level that's tailored to the pull model and is good at pulling information from configurations or performance monitoring statistics in network devices?
Thanks a lot for this video, really helpful. But when I try to run this playbook I get an error: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "operation requires privilege escalation"} . Any comments about this? By the way ansible.cfg and hosts are configured the way you did it.
Sound and clear.. thanks for this. Could you please share if there is a good way to manage HP switches using Ansible ? Tried, cli_command, raw, all those but didnt help
@@NetworkChuck oh okay.. Thanks for replying. Yeah, I used some but seems not maintaining those and not working with latest Ansible version. Also posted here; in case anyone can help. stackoverflow.com/questions/62386546/ansible-modules-for-hp-switches-comware-7
Checked out the other Ansible video you dropped the other day. Pretty solid! What have you found to be the interplay between Satellite and Ansible? I assume not much from a networking perspective.
is this something you cal also do in Eve NG, I know you can do it with Gns3 but not sure about other similar software. Great video by the way, I'm going through devnet now, this is for sure the future/present of networking
Chuck, have you ever heard of Autonomous, A.I., Machine learning controlled IPS because hackers are using AI to attack systems. Sounds really Kool, supposed to be a reaction time that is "up to 300 times faster" than the whole IT Staff.
I HAVE LINUX on windows and Ansible installed - everytime i turn on my computer and run linux, the command line starts in linux. What command do i type to start Ansible from linux command line
Question: do you think there is a way to use this to go thru all wan interfaces and maybe trunks to modify the description to add a piece of text like the word MON to indicate monitor this interface and keep the rest of the description that is already there? I am using a monitor tool which if i use a keyword in the interface description i can have it automatically add to a group in this tool. The issue is this is a legacy enterprise network and I need to do this for like 18k interfaces. Any new interfaces have this word at the beginning of the description, it is just the things that have been out there for years i would like to touch thru some automation.
I'm getting an error!!! After I execute this command--> ansible routers -m ios_command -a "commands='show ip int brief'" Can someone Help me out? Error: ios-xe-mgmt.cisco.com | FAILED! => { "changed": false, "msg": "[Errno -2] Name or service not known" } ios-xe-mgmt-latest.cisco.com | FAILED! => { "changed": false, "msg": "[Errno -2] Name or service not known" }
I should've known by the CCNP plug that this was beyond my level of expertise. It would be cool if these videos came with a hard level (beginner, Intermediate, advanced).
Is there a difference between name the file as .yml and .yaml? I was trying to get another script to run that kept failing and one of the only differences I noticed was it was a .yaml file.
I have a query in my scenario i have to enter ssh password and after that i have to enter enable password, both input should be prompted while run the playbook can you help on this
Ansible was great, til cli templates came out which is basically just the ansible playbooks built right into your controller managing switches and APs, For firewalls, I’d rather use terraform
Hey Chuck, thanks for the high quality videos. Would u mind making video about the real world routing and switchng market share? What about huawei? Mikrotik? Juniper? Cisco is going down every year and other brands are rising due to price/quality.

Awesome! For some reason I was afraid of Ansible and this little tutorial replaced my fear with HUGE interest.
Hats Off! For some reason I was afraid of Ansible and this little tutorial replaced my fear with HUGE interest.
I use Ansible everyday for a VERY large company and LOVE IT!!!
Missed your old intro music, each time I return back to see one of your old videos to listen to it hhhhh it's just amazing !!
Video is pure gold, thank you! However, I spent hours troubleshooting why mine wouldn't work.

Now , this kind of videos I like the most. Short and crisp. 👌👌 Not that _LONG_ movies of 1 hr you make.
Sometimes 1 hour movies are necessary
Keep up with the videos! You're making me feel so relaxed. Just listening you teach us
I love your energy - it makes following the material so much easier!
I owe a LOT to you. You make these intricate things, soooo easy to grasp and make me fall in love with them.
Really appreciate the efforts, you put in, to make these high quality content. 😍😍
Check out CBT Nuggets, almost all the trainers are just as relatable. I owe a good chunk of my career to these guys..
Great vid, Chuck! Been fighting Ansible for a minute.. I really need to dig in deeper.. Thanks for all the great content :)
Thanks for bringing our favorite music back. Great inspirational videos.
Thanks for this. I have a web development project I am doing for the ISP that I work for that will be using nodejs and ansible to create configs and more. This was a big help in thinking of design for that project. Now I know what I have to build to generate all the pieces needed for ansible.
Awesome!! That sounds like a fun project.
@@NetworkChuck sure is. Thanks again for the great content. My colleagues and I love your videos.
You are really providing quality information & doing it in a great way! Keep it up
FYI, you need to tell it to save the config. If the switch has lost of power, the configs will not stick. You need to issue:
- name: Save running-config
ios_config:
save_when: modified
OR
- name: Save running-config
ios_command:
commands: wr
Ansible can be made to do EVERYTHING!!!
Just a note?...when I turned on "Line Numbering" the entry you mention?..was at line 71.....I guess it might be different for others if they have larger monitors or extend their window borders...but that's where it was for me...
Thanks mate. Please upload more videos on network automation examples using ansible.
Can you show a clip where you use vault so you are not storing a PW in plan text?
Apparently you can use Ansible with WinRM and Chocolatey package manager for Windows. Would love to see some content on that.
Thank you, Sir Chuck, network automation is definitely the next step for my network. This will definitely help with backing up network devices.
I have Cisco 890 router, switch and WLC with two 1702I APs.for my home network. I will definitely need to use this! :)
Thank you for your work.

ansible version- [core 2.12.2]
Python= 3.8.10
jinja ver= 2.10.1
Thanks, this other lab had me adding ssh keys on literally all the nodes for a fr*ckin practice lab. drove me up a wall
this example does one command to many, but if you have many different commands to many different network devices, how would you implement that without doing this to each many different command?
I’m not fan these tools! It only works for easy stuff, when it comes to more complex networks it simply do not work.
In vi instead of Going into insert mode and deleting the pound, you can just stay in command mode and press x over the character you want to remove
You can also use colon and x to save and quit - it does the same as colon wq
I'd love to see a video how to deal with SSH keys and ansible.
Thanks Chuck Please do saltstack demo
Great Lab Chuck,
what does the absent function do, backing out of implemented command prior?
Thanks for all the great content :)
I went from fear to interest on this. I thought it was gonna be much more complex.
Nice Video guy. Chen using vi it is possible to remove a character using the command x by just hitting x. It is not required to go to vi‘s insert mode. Just see this as a small hint. Regards. 👍

Yeah I got into that ssh connect issue - Can you please clarify how do I enable the SSH on the target devices and allowed the ssh via firewall ?
If we apply configuration wrong to managed devices, does any impact ?
Awesome , please more videos of Ansible for network devices 🙏🏻💪🏻
Couldn't you just use something like Cisco Prime Infrastructure to get all this information and manage these routers and switches? I get that it's an expensive appliance tho... Is Ansible free? Thanks for your videos

Run your editor with sudo.
“sudo vi ansible.cfg”
hi, could you please share cisco network troubleshooting playbooks? (like those used in cbt videos)
Great video! You mentioned that Ansible is a push model .. Is there a tool at the ansible quality level that's tailored to the pull model and is good at pulling information from configurations or performance monitoring statistics in network devices?
Wow Great! Tutorials Thank you so much.
Amazing stuff, ansible after all is not this esoteric tool. Thanks a bunch Network Chuck.
Any vids when using bastion hosts chuck??
Thanks a lot for this video, really helpful. But when I try to run this playbook I get an error: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "operation requires privilege escalation"}
. Any comments about this? By the way ansible.cfg and hosts are configured the way you did it.
This guy is the Internet with beard (his beard is the VPN)
Per Arne Kleiven Jensen ..no
Does someone knows what is the song in the beginning of the video? I love it
Sound and clear.. thanks for this.
Could you please share if there is a good way to manage HP switches using Ansible ?
Tried, cli_command, raw, all those but didnt help
Ansible would need a module for it to work. Not sure if they have one.
@@NetworkChuck oh okay..
Thanks for replying.
Yeah, I used some but seems not maintaining those and not working with latest Ansible version.
Also posted here; in case anyone can help.
stackoverflow.com/questions/62386546/ansible-modules-for-hp-switches-comware-7
Thanks a lot! Good explanation.
you're awesome. I want to learn ansible with your video tutorial.
Checked out the other Ansible video you dropped the other day. Pretty solid! What have you found to be the interplay between Satellite and Ansible? I assume not much from a networking perspective.
is this something you cal also do in Eve NG, I know you can do it with Gns3 but not sure about other similar software. Great video by the way, I'm going through devnet now, this is for sure the future/present of networking
yes, this can be done in EVE NG.
Hello dear Chuck, well done .. please do you run Ubuntu in docker container or VM ? Keep up the good work :-)
Great job! You saved my time :)
Chuck, have you ever heard of Autonomous, A.I., Machine learning controlled IPS because hackers are using AI to attack systems. Sounds really Kool, supposed to be a reaction time that is "up to 300 times faster" than the whole IT Staff.
Thanks for the demo and info, Network_Chuck, have a great day.
awesome love it
How did you log into router at 12.15. im trying to ssh but i cant
Did you know that you can do :x instead of :wq in vi to do the same thing?
I HAVE LINUX on windows and Ansible installed - everytime i turn on my computer and run linux, the command line starts in linux. What command do i type to start Ansible from linux command line
Question: do you think there is a way to use this to go thru all wan interfaces and maybe trunks to modify the description to add a piece of text like the word MON to indicate monitor this interface and keep the rest of the description that is already there?

I'm getting an error!!!
After I execute this command--> ansible routers -m ios_command -a "commands='show ip int brief'"
Can someone Help me out?
Error:
ios-xe-mgmt.cisco.com | FAILED! => {

"msg": "[Errno -2] Name or service not known"
}
ios-xe-mgmt-latest.cisco.com | FAILED! => {
"changed": false,

}
The first router did not work
Had to run this command in order for it to work. "interface" ansible routers -m ios_command -a "commands='show ip interface brief'"
great. definitely going to try this
I should've known by the CCNP plug that this was beyond my level of expertise. It would be cool if these videos came with a hard level (beginner, Intermediate, advanced).
How much of this is required for CCNA?
Do you think you will switch to Linux as your main OS in the future?
you solved it but no time to teach any one
how can some one learn and master ansible commands and yaml commands as well ?
Chuck, can you please tell me where i can download your start up BGM, Thank you.
Why can't we just type : ansible routers -m ios_command -a "show ip int brief" ?
Is there a difference between name the file as .yml and .yaml? I was trying to get another script to run that kept failing and one of the only differences I noticed was it was a .yaml file.
I expect you already have the answer after so long, but just in case anyone else is looking - some OS only play nice with 3 character file extensions
@NetworkChuck - Being a Cisco super-fan, have you used Cisco NFO vs. Ansible
Can you make a video on OpenWISP? It is an open-source network management tool.
It's for NMS isn't it?
You should create your own freelance IT training video site :) get some of the dudes who comment to do videos.
it's really usefull thanks for sharing bro
amazing! thanks a LOT!
great, thank you... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have a query in my scenario i have to enter ssh password and after that i have to enter enable password, both input should be prompted while run the playbook can you help on this
I think that is the purpose of the "Become" keyword:
docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html#become-network
Is it possible to install / run Ansible inside Ubuntu itself running in docker container please ?
Yes definitely - check out this YT vid that shows exactly that:
ua-cam.com/video/goclfp6a2IQ/v-deo.html
hey chuck, is powershell worth learning too
It should be on your radar. It'll add value to your inventory
Are you running ansible on a Raspberry Pi?
Link for routers on devnet are broken....
Awesome 💯
Ansible was great, til cli templates came out which is basically just the ansible playbooks built right into your controller managing switches and APs,
For firewalls, I’d rather use terraform
Can you use this for Ubiquiti?
Thank You
For the first minute I was watching to see if that coffee would spill.
haahaha me too XD
What Is the intro song for this video?
lmfao chuck look so tired in this video its making me sleepy 😂
"msg": "paramiko is not installed: No module named 'paramiko'"
Pip3 install paramiko
Excelent! Thanks
Hey Chuck, thanks for the high quality videos. Would u mind making video about the real world routing and switchng market share? What about huawei? Mikrotik? Juniper? Cisco is going down every year and other brands are rising due to price/quality.
is he just making those commands up? sure looks that way
Thank you soooo much!!!!!
