Hi Stefano, I am an Ansible newb. I have a similar problem as yours. I was looking for solutions to send break sequence to the console (Ctrl+]).
I am unsure if this helps, but in some google groups, I remember seeing EXPECT module being used to interact with such CLIs. Just in case if you did not try this before. Secondly, just a thought, could '\n' solve your problem sending Carriage Return/Enter to CLI. Glad if this helps, AR On Thursday, November 16, 2017 at 1:07:58 AM UTC+11, [email protected] wrote: > > HI > > I created an ansble role which install on the target hosts IBM api connect > gateways software and enable the service. > I would improve this role adding configuration steps. > > After the installation the APIC gateways need to be configured accessing > to a dedicated command line interface, the first access is made of the > following steps: > > $ telnet 0 2200 *//command to launch to access the CLI* > Trying 0.0.0.0... > Connected to 0. > Escape character is '^]'. > stefano2.prv > Unauthorized access prohibited. > > login: user *//here i need to write the username* > Password: ***** *// as well as the password* > > **************************************************************** > ATTENTION: Use care when making your selections for operational > modes.
