Using bastion/jump host with netconf connection
-----------------------------------------------
Enabling jump host setting
--------------------------
Bastion/jump host with netconf connection can be enable using
- Setting Ansible variable``ansible_netconf_ssh_config`` or
- Setting environment variable ``ANSIBLE_NETCONF_SSH_CONFIG`` or
- Setting ``ssh_config=Ture`` under ``netconf_connection`` section in ansible configuration file
The ssh config file (~/.ssh/config) should have the correct proxycommand and required ssh configuration variables
Example ssh config file (~/.ssh/config)
---------------------------------------
.. code-block:: ini
Host junoshost
HostName junos01
User myuser
ProxyCommand ssh user@bastion01 nc %h %p %r
Example Ansible inventory file
.. code-block:: ini
[junos]
junoshost
[junos:vars]
ansible_connection=netconf
ansible_network_os=junos
ansible_user=myuser
ansible_ssh_pass=!vault...
.. note:: Using ``ProxyCommand`` with passwords via variables
