Hi @Marcel Zehnder ,
Thank you for your response! I had actually tried this method of changing the time, and before i went up to 120. I changed as you suggested to 'command_timeout = 240' and it worked!! So thank you for that, one step closer. I guess it needed more time to gather facts since they are connected to A LOT of devices.
Now the next step, is changing the ports description. I uncommented those sections and the script gathered all the information but ended up 'skipping' the part for changing the ports.
Here's a small snippet of a few interfaced that failed to change and the reason why:
skipping: [SDS-01] => (item={'key': 'Ethernet8/40', 'value': [{'port': 'TenGigabitEthernet1/1/4', 'host': 'SBS-I-20.company.com', 'sysname': 'SBS-I-20.company.com'}]}) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": false,
"item": {
"key": "Ethernet8/40",
"value": [
{
"host": "SBS-I-20.company.com",
"port": "TenGigabitEthernet1/1/4",
"sysname": "SBS-I-20.company.com"
}
]
},
"skip_reason": "Conditional result was False"
}
skipping: [SDS-01] => (item={'key': 'Ethernet8/41', 'value': [{'port': 'TenGigabitEthernet1/1/3', 'host': 'SBS-K-10.company.com', 'sysname': 'SBS-K-10.company.com'}]}) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": false,
"item": {
"key": "Ethernet8/41",
"value": [
{
"host": "SBS-K-10.company.com",
"port": "TenGigabitEthernet1/1/3",
"sysname": "SBS-K-10.company.com"
}
]
},
"skip_reason": "Conditional result was False"
}
***************************************
So basically, something in this task (shown below) is throwing off a condition and skipping the rest, but the only condition I can think of is "when: ansible_network_os == 'nxos'" .
- name: SET NXOS INTERFACE DESCRIPTIONS
nxos_config:
lines:
- description {{item.value[0].host.split('.').0}}:{{item.value[0].port[0:3]}}{{item.value[0].port.split('t')[-1]}}
parents: interface {{item.key}}
save_when: changed
with_dict: "{{ansible_facts.net_neighbors}}"
when: ansible_network_os == 'nxos'
