netconf – Provides a persistent connection using the netconf protocol  Synopsis Requirements Parameters Status  Synopsis  This connection plugin provides a connection to remote devices over the SSH NETCONF subsystem. This connection plugin is typically used by network devices for sending and receiving RPC calls over NETCONF. Note this connection plugin requires ncclient to be installed on the local Ansible controller.  Requirements The below requirements are needed on the local master node that executes this connection.  ncclient  Parameters   Parameter Choices/Defaults Configuration Comments    host  -    Default:"inventory_hostname"   var: ansible_host   Specifies the remote device FQDN or IP address to establish the SSH connection to.     host_key_checking  boolean    Default:"yes"    ini entries: [defaults]host_key_checking = yes [paramiko_connection]host_key_checking = yes  env:ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING env:ANSIBLE_SSH_HOST_KEY_CHECKING env:ANSIBLE_NETCONF_HOST_KEY_CHECKING var: ansible_host_key_checking var: ansible_ssh_host_key_checking var: ansible_netconf_host_key_checking   Set this to "False" if you want to avoid host key checking by the underlying tools Ansible uses to connect to the host     look_for_keys  boolean    Default:"yes"    ini entries: [paramiko_connection]look_for_keys = yes  env:ANSIBLE_PARAMIKO_LOOK_FOR_KEYS   Enables looking for ssh keys in the usual locations for ssh keys (e.g. :file:`~/.ssh/id_*`).     netconf_ssh_config  -       ini entries: [netconf_connection]ssh_config = VALUE  env:ANSIBLE_NETCONF_SSH_CONFIG var: ansible_netconf_ssh_config   This variable is used to enable bastion/jump host with netconf connection. If set to True the bastion/jump host ssh settings should be present in ~/.ssh/config file, alternatively it can be set to custom ssh configuration file path to read the bastion/jump host settings.     network_os  -      var: ansible_network_os   Configures the device platform network operating system. This value is used to load a device specific netconf plugin. If this option is not configured (or set to auto), then Ansible will attempt to guess the correct network_os to use. If it can not guess a network_os correctly it will use default.     password  -      var: ansible_password var: ansible_ssh_pass var: ansible_ssh_password var: ansible_netconf_password   Configures the user password used to authenticate to the remote device when first establishing the SSH connection.     persistent_command_timeout  integer    Default:30    ini entries: [persistent_connection]command_timeout = 30  env:ANSIBLE_PERSISTENT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT var: ansible_command_timeout   Configures, in seconds, the amount of time to wait for a command to return from the remote device. If this timer is exceeded before the command returns, the connection plugin will raise an exception and close.     persistent_connect_timeout  integer    Default:30    ini entries: [persistent_connection]connect_timeout = 30  env:ANSIBLE_PERSISTENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT var: ansible_connect_timeout   Configures, in seconds, the amount of time to wait when trying to initially establish a persistent connection. If this value expires before the connection to the remote device is completed, the connection will fail.     persistent_log_messages  boolean    Default:"no"    ini entries: [persistent_connection]log_messages = no  env:ANSIBLE_PERSISTENT_LOG_MESSAGES var: ansible_persistent_log_messages   This flag will enable logging the command executed and response received from target device in the ansible log file. For this option to work 'log_path' ansible configuration option is required to be set to a file path with write access. Be sure to fully understand the security implications of enabling this option as it could create a security vulnerability by logging sensitive information in log file.     port  integer    Default:830    ini entries: [defaults]remote_port = 830  env:ANSIBLE_REMOTE_PORT var: ansible_port   Specifies the port on the remote device that listens for connections when establishing the SSH connection.     private_key_file  -       ini entries: [defaults]private_key_file = VALUE  env:ANSIBLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE var: ansible_private_key_file   The private SSH key or certificate file used to authenticate to the remote device when first establishing the SSH connection.     remote_user  -       ini entries: [defaults]remote_user = VALUE  env:ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER var: ansible_user   The username used to authenticate to the remote device when the SSH connection is first established. If the remote_user is not specified, the connection will use the username of the logged in user. Can be configured from the CLI via the --user or -u options.     timeout  integer    Default:120     Sets the connection time, in seconds, for communicating with the remote device. This timeout is used as the default timeout value when awaiting a response after issuing a call to a RPC. If the RPC does not return in timeout seconds, an error is generated.     Status  This connection is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface. [preview]

  Authors  Ansible Networking Team   Hint If you notice any issues in this documentation, you can edit this document to improve it.   Hint Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
