Cisco IOS Automation with Ansible

[@rogerhaisley4628]

This was brilliant. Exactly what I needed as a noob trying to understand how automation using Ansible work practically. Alot of tutorials assume you already know quite a bit and so they don't explain the details for us know-nothing people. I already went through this for CCNA and passed the exam but it was very abstract so your video really made sense of everything for me. It was like removing cloudy glasses, now I can see, now I understand how this works. Thanks so much.

Indeed, I successfully passed my CCNA tomorrow, securing top scores in Automation. This achievement has inspired me to dive into the world of Ansible. Excitingly, the featured video stands out for its exceptional beginner-friendly approach, covering everything from setting up an SSH connection. Many others merely skim through preconfigured playbooks and modules.

fun fact: adding a label to an ssh key during generation, on a cisco, typically skirts the need to use a domain name. I like to use a domain id as my label. One command shorter increases chances for success.

[@antonr1977]

@19:55 A space in the hosts file does not denote the end of a group. You may very well leave them out and your file will be read by Ansible without any issues. What denotes the end of a group is the beginning on next "section" (other group, group vars) or end of a file.

This is really very helpful video. I was struggling for ssh connection with rsa keys. Kevin explained so clearly and I resolved the problem. I ran and configure first time using Ansible after watching this video!!

[@reynaldobravado4158]

Clear and straightforward demo. Thank you so much

[@williebrown4266]

Top notch presentation. Was able to download Ansible onto my Ubuntu laptop and follow along.

[@BorisBadenough]

Thank you, I knew nothing about Ansible, great introductory content!

[@refaiabdeen5943]

Cheers Mate. A well documented & great example

[@saibot293]

Is eveNG Good to start learning Ansible? I don't mind buying it I'd like to not have to buy a bunch of equipment but I will if need be.. getting into automation right after CCNA.

[@lkdipeolu]

Charles, that was a good presentation. I love it.

[@manhope9753]

Thanks would be great if you make some more videos 😊

[@mudasir2168]

once again excellent content....thanks for sharing and keep them coming

[@engahb]

I would like to have more videos going deeper into ansible.

[@lkdipeolu]

Kelvin, thanks for a good job.

[@danielthoenen6045]

Very good video, Charles.

[@Mohammadjulfikar7187]

Simple and superb demonstration!!

[@inuvik491]

Nice demo, many thanks.

[@kool1311]

what will happen if I input the wrong command syntax under section lines? I guess ansible will shown the error message but I'm not sure that will stop task or skip error and continue to the next line command.

[@jonathantx]

First I would like to say thank you for making this video, helps a ton!!!! I have a question, I have started testing with ansible in my home lab, but I want to know how to keep ansible from capturing login banner?? Thanks in advance.

[@rafaeldegraves]

an excellent explanation

[@darkreed3486]

Super clean.

[@cyberciscowebdev8371]

Great demonstration

[@leothalion3983]

Thank you! This was amazing!

[@leothalion3983]

are there more like this on Ansible?

[@Kinetic-3cPO]

Great demo! Thank you.

[@ozzman530]

You also registered the a variable but not sure I saw you call it.

[@rohanfernandes214]

Is it better for a beginner to learn Ansible or Python?

[@farukm7627]

Thanks - beats configuring devices the old way.

[@fixithvac9360]

great video! Thanks

[@mehransaeed7207]

I am getting timeout error whilst executing the tasks in ansible plabybook on the switch. it can connect fine to the switch but doesn't run any tasks. just gives time out error. any solution

[@MuhammadHaris-ew1xl]

Very nicely explained, removes my fear of working with Ansible. I wonder if you have also launched a course on Ansible for network automation?

[@TJ-op3ho]

Great Job!!

[@lethanhtung3581]

Nice video and demo, Can I get a playbook example website

[@jamilchoudhry5946]

👍 Excellent. Thanks

[@ahmedshwehdi5933]

[@paulnet7762]

Thank you!

[@satorugojo-02-11]

What IOS image are you using?

[@engahb]

Awesome

[@henrychan1973]

Nice!

[@Network_buds]

hello please can you tell me which router are used in conjonction with ansible ?

[@jzartmann]

If you add a label to the key pair the domain name is not needed to enable SSH

[@featherspy]

Did you make a security+ course? Your voice is SUPER familiar

[@kwallaceccie]

No, we don’t currently have a Security+ course. However, we do have a CEH course.

[@georgemavimbela]

Thank you very much

[@johnmoff9324]

Where did the beard go mister Judd?

[@LaVidaEnUnaGota]

Redhat didn't create ansible, Ansible was created by two Redhat ex employees and after was acquired by Redhat.

[@davidsayles339]

so about 5 minutes of ansible knowledge and 27 minutes about setting up a lab.

[@Nossody]

How can two different people sound so similar?

[@gd2860]

this vid was a nothin burger 😒😒 had high hopes

[@yoozy1]

That's a crazy comment, I understood Ansible because of this video
