<p>One of the engineers attending my <a href="http://www.ipspace.net/Building_Network_Automation_Solutions">Building Network Automation Solutions</a> online course got the lab up and running, wanted to execute a simple IOS command from an Ansible playbook and failed.</p>
<p>He quickly realized he needs to set <strong>connection </strong>to <strong>local</strong> or <strong>network_cli</strong>; for more details watch the <em>Connecting and Authenticating</em> section of <a href="https://my.ipspace.net/bin/list?id=Ansible#NET_CMD">Ansible Networking Modules - Executing Commands</a> part of <a href="http://www.ipspace.net/Ansible_for_Networking_Engineers">Ansible for Networking Engineers</a> webinar.</p>
