Quick start with Ansible

Install ansible.  For example, on Ubuntu Linux:

sudo apt-get install ansible

Populate /etc/ansible/hosts

[myrouters]

router1.mydomain.com
router2.mydomain.com

[myswitches]

Switch1
Switch2.mydomain.com
192.168.1.1

Try a read-only command just on a single router

 ansible router1.mydomain.com -u myusername -k -m raw -a "show version"

Try a command on a group of routers

ansible myrouters -u myusername -k -m raw -a "show version"
