Great video! As an Ansible Newbie I got hit with all the things you brought up on my GNS3 lab

[@gobikrish276]

Hi Keith thanks for taking the time to share this its been a huge help towards learning the automation part of the CCNA.

[@PolitoJomulco2010]

Thank you very much.!!!!!! This is spot on . By far the best video yet to get started.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you Apolo J!

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

What's great about these videos is Keith's amazing ability to **naturally emphasize** and break down important architectural parts of a system/application so newbies on a topic can quickly get over the hurdles. This is my go to channel when I say "time to get off my butt and watch what Keith is cookin'"!

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you!

[@hongkim4528]

I am a CBT subscriber and watched lots of video from Keith. It's always been great experience and makes me to keep watching and learning. Now you gave me a great project to finally I can set up my home lab. Thank you, Keith!

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you Hong Kim! Best of success to you.

[@toml7682]

Keith- thank you for the great show, this is the best setup for ansible that I have seen.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you Tom L!

[@kevinquinn4714]

Excellent video Keith. Helped me get Ansible up and running on EVE-NG in no time at all. Thanks!

[@KeithBarker]

Nice work!

[@Montario226]

Great instructions and demonstration. Thank you Keith Barker!

[@mrcaf2824]

Great job sir. You explanation and demonstration of the basic fundamentals of Ansible was excellent. I just started a new Ansible lab in CML. Thank you for the help.

[@KeithBarker]

Excellent!

[@oscarvenegas5683]

Boom ! the answer I was looking for my lab , Thank you !!

[@chris76706]

Keith - thank you so much for putting together this for us! I've been so confused on the Ansible/Puppet/Chef and this was quite helpful. Would you do a video on Puppet & Chef too? I LOVE the TDW!

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the request Chris. Chef and Puppet are both on my list. Happy studies!

[@ADHJkvsNgsMBbTQe]

Very useful demonstration. Thank you.

[@jonathantx]

Awesome video. I was just researching how to fix ssh error with my ubuntu machine. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[@KeithBarker]

Glad it helped!

[@bigdimus69]

Thanks Keith, much appreciated it, I finally will give a good use to the Pi 4

[@KeithBarker]

Happy to do it, thanks for the feedback Luis

[@ozzman530]

One thing I've noticed about Ansible is things change very quickly. By the time I get to watch this video it's already out of date. I dug in a couple years ago, but found so many things didn't work and quickly let it go. TDW's are adding up lol

[@KeithBarker]

Thanks for sharing!

[@networkexploit]

thank you. I would like to know how we can do either a range of ip address or read from a .txt file of ip address and then save the information to excel spreadsheet.

[@TheChristopherTerry]

Great tutorial Keith, but your instructions may not work for all environments. I spent about a week trying to get this scenario working (using latest version of Ubuntu 24.something....) There is a setting in the ansible.cfg file that will require attention for ssh onto Cisco IOS to authenticate successfully - to be specific, ansible will not attempt to use the username in the hosts file without it. The setting in question is: look_for_keys=False The setting can be found at the bottom of the ansible.cfg file if it is generated using the built in command to generate it (ansible-config init > /path/to/ansible.cfg) is used Not sure if this is something related to the latest version of Ubuntu or Python perhaps It appears the default behavior is to use key authentication and not try usernames and passwords without this setting in the config file. I would like to think my comment / findings will help your other viewers avoid hours of troubleshooting. Keep Up The Good Work.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you @TheChristopherTerry!

[@tango12341234]

Hi Keith, This still seems rather complicated. Is there a popular GUI version that uses Ansible, Python Restconf and Yang to automate and if so why not just use that? It just feels like we are trying to write out math problems here instead of using a calculator

[@stevefrost83]

Check out Ansible Tower or AWX if you want a GUI for Ansible.

[@memem1792]

What's the name of the software you used in this video

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question me mem. I used SecureCRT as the terminal emulation software.

[@sharinganuser1539]

I'm rhce, I saw the caption...nd I was like.... SERIOUSLY..

[@wapdiswaudi6377]

keith please give me the link to the ccna 200-301 blueprint, thanks

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you Wapdisw, here is the direct link for the exam blueprint, also called the "Exam Topics" for 200-301, the CCNA www.cisco.com/c/dam/en_us/training-events/le31/le46/cln/marketing/exam-topics/200-301-CCNA.pdf Happy studies.

[@Johnny0nieves1]

TDW!! An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: OSError: out of pty devices fatal: [10.0.0.252]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Unexpected failure during module execution.", "stdout": ""} lol I am getting tired of reading Ansible docs. I really like Nornir it just works lol.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you Johnny, the pain is real.

[@nomansaleem.online1225]
