I watch all your videos I was just watching one before I went to this video

Love it bro. I enjoy your live vids, but these quick “how-to’s” really hits the motivation spot. Crazy how hard you think something is until you try it. Had a lot of fun trying this out! Thank you.

Awesome! For some reason I was afraid of Ansible and this little tutorial replaced my fear with HUGE interest.

Keep up with the videos! You're making me feel so relaxed. Just listening you teach us

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.

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 !!

I love your energy - it makes following the material so much easier!

I use Ansible everyday for a VERY large company and LOVE IT!!!

Thank you, Sir Chuck, network automation is definitely the next step for my network. This will definitely help with backing up network devices.

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. 😍😍

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.

Hats Off! For some reason I was afraid of Ansible and this little tutorial replaced my fear with HUGE interest.

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.

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.

Thanks mate. Please upload more videos on network automation examples using ansible.

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!

Thanks for all the great content :)

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 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.

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.

Wow Great! Tutorials Thank you so much.

Great Lab Chuck,

Great job! You saved my time :)

Awesome , please more videos of Ansible for network devices 🙏🏻💪🏻

Thanks a lot! Good explanation.

Thanks for the demo and info, Network_Chuck, have a great day.

great. definitely going to try this

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.

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

Ansible can be made to do EVERYTHING!!!

hi, could you please share cisco network troubleshooting playbooks? (like those used in cbt videos)

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...

Chuck, can you please tell me where i can download your start up BGM, Thank you.

awesome love it

what does the absent function do, backing out of implemented command prior?

Amazing stuff, ansible after all is not this esoteric tool. Thanks a bunch Network Chuck.

Hello dear Chuck, well done .. please do you run Ubuntu in docker container or VM ? Keep up the good 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

@bensdad03

You can also use colon and x to save and quit - it does the same as colon wq

Apparently you can use Ansible with WinRM and Chocolatey package manager for Windows. Would love to see some content on that.

Can you show a clip where you use vault so you are not storing a PW in plan text?

it's really usefull thanks for sharing bro

@NetworkChuck - Being a Cisco super-fan, have you used Cisco NFO vs. Ansible

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.

If we apply configuration wrong to managed devices, does any impact ?

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. 👍

great, thank you... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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

amazing! thanks a LOT!

you're awesome. I want to learn ansible with your video tutorial.

Thanks Chuck Please do saltstack demo

Any vids when using bastion hosts chuck??

Do you think you will switch to Linux as your main OS in the future?

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.

Did you know that you can do :x instead of :wq in vi to do the same thing?

Excelent! Thanks

How much of this is required for CCNA?

Longtime network engineer here, great job very clear and concise 👍

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

Thank you soooo much!!!!!

Thank you man

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

I'd love to see a video how to deal with SSH keys and ansible.

@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.

Run your editor with sudo. “sudo vi ansible.cfg”

Can you use this for Ubiquiti?

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?

Are you running ansible on a Raspberry Pi?

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

Had to run this command in order for it to work. "interface" ansible routers -m ios_command -a "commands='show ip interface brief'"

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 went from fear to interest on this. I thought it was gonna be much more complex.

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.

I think that is the purpose of the "Become" keyword: docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html#become-network

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

This was great easy straight to the point but some much details!

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.

Why can't we just type : ansible routers -m ios_command -a "show ip int brief" ?
