Hi,

There are commands like

aaa authentication port-access eap-radius authorized
aaa authentication mac-based chap-radius authorized

Which require to answer Yes/No after the command:

The RADIUS connection timeout must be less than the
authentication server timeout for the switch to authenticate
automatically when the RADIUS server is unavailable.
Do you want to continue? [y/n]

Is it possible somehow to make it working with any of available CLI module?

If not, it would be very very kind if one could create a module for the aaa port-access stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Michaely

After a quick check, i don't found a API call for configure this parameter :(

Thanks Alexis.

Lets think about some creative solution :) that could fix that with cli module.

I'm pretty sure we could send Y,/n somehow.

with API AnyCLI (or BatchCLI) no because interactive command is not supported...

Need to have a ssh session to the switch..

What about that one?

4. For ArubaOS-Switch and ArubaOS-CX, you can use the SSH CLI modules in the library/ directory to execute CLI commands as well as show commands. Remember this is using SSH to connect to your device, which means it may take more time to execute the command. Here are some examples below of how to use these modules for configuration and show commands. Keep in mind that in some of the examples I am passing Variables, but you're able to put information directly into the modules:

Example for Switch:

- name: Enable Interface 5
  arubaos_switch_ssh_cli:
    ip: "{{ansible_host}}"
    user: "{{ansible_user}}"
    password: "{{ansible_password}}"
    command_list: ["conf", "interface 5", "enable"]

- name: Get output of show vlans
  arubaos_switch_ssh_cli:
    ip: "{{ansible_host}}"
    user: "{{ansible_user}}"
    password: "{{ansible_password}}"
    show_command: ["show vlans"]
  register: ssh_output

Or that is part of the anycli?

Yes, it will be work...

After a another check, there is a API call for mac-based (but not (yet) found for port-access

(Sorry using Powershell)

(Invoke-ArubaSWWebRequest -uri "rest/v7/authentication/mac_based").content | ConvertFrom-Json

uri                       auth_mac_based
---                       --------------
/authentication/mac_based @{primary_method=PAM_CHAP_RADIUS; secondary_method=SAM_AUTHORIZED; server_group=}

'aaa authentication port-access eap-radius authorized',
'y',

That one worked great.

Nice
