Cisco IOS Collection

CI Codecov CI

The Ansible Cisco IOS collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE network appliances.

This collection has been tested against Cisco IOS XE Version 17.3 on CML.

Support

As a Red Hat Ansible Certified Content, this collection is entitled to support through Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).

If a support case cannot be opened with Red Hat and the collection has been obtained either from Galaxy or GitHub, there is community support available at no charge.

You can join us on #network:ansible.com room or the Ansible Forum Network Working Group.

For more information you can check the communication section below.

Communication

For more information about communication, see the Ansible communication guide.

Ansible version compatibility

This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: >=2.15.0.

For collections that support Ansible 2.9, please ensure you update your network_os to use the fully qualified collection name (for example, cisco.ios.ios). Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions. A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions. PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.

Supported connections

The Cisco IOS collection supports network_cli connections. A detailed platform guide can be found here.
