  • 1.  Ansible and SCP

    Posted 21 days ago

    I am trying to use Ansible to SCP a file to Juniper devices.  I had this working with a prior version of Ansible, but I received a new laptop that must have a newer version of Ansible and python and now the playbook fails, saying: "Connection type 'local' is not valid for 'junos_scp' module."  I tried looking up the requirements for the junos_scp module, but it appears to be deprecated.  What is the correct method to SCP file via Ansible?  Does someone have a working example?  Thanks.

    Take a look at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/netcommon/net_put_module.html

    This looks promising, but I am having issues.  Do you have this working with a Juniper switch?  Using paramiko, I get "replay attack on SSH warnings" and partial transfer.  I then loaded the optional ansible-pylibssh, and now I get "unable to connect to socket".  Thanks for your assistance.

    I was able to get this to work using paramiko (ansible_network_cli_ssh_type: paramiko), and increasing my command timeout (ansible_command_timeout: 600). 

    Thanks again for you suggestion!
