Modules fail to exucute successfully on ISAM devices

[JCTechSol]

I was using the sros_command & sros_config modules to manage some ISAM OLT's but have been getting the error mentioned here https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/72018 In that thread it was mentioned by jurajama that the sros_command & sros_config modules should no longer be used but this collection should instead.

I've tried for many days now and I'm unable to successfully connect to my OLT's using the cli_command module in this collection. I just get "command timeout triggered, timeout value is 60 secs.\nSee the timeout setting options in the Network Debug and Troubleshooting Guide."

Am I missing something?

Are the sros_command & sros_config modules still the recommended method to manage OLT's?

Hi Jonathan, I guess the prompt detection is failing. I would recommend to build specific an ISAM CLI plugin, that take into consideration the CLI specific of the 7330. If you have a setup in Nokia intranet, I can have a look. Sven

@wisotzky Thanks for the reply. We are using the 7360 (though I don't believe that makes a difference) We don't have a setup in the Nokia intranet. What would it take to get a CLI plugin?

@wisotzky @hellt I too have about 1800 of the 7360's deployed that I want to start working on with Ansible, is there anything I can provide to assist in getting the plugin updated? I don't have an external facing device, but should be able to provide data about the prompts, and run any commands, dump the tree, test a plugin, etc. These devices seem to be different than TiMOS or SROS based devices in terms of the CLI, out of the 40K+ Nokia devices across 15 models I have deployed, they are not like any of the others.

Hi @coxoperationsengineer, I will try to reach out to Nokia FN. I should be able to get access to a 7360 system to get the job done. /wiso

Hi @JCTechSol, what company are you working for? /wiso

@wisotzky seems like the OP isn't responding, so let me know if you need anything from me, can probably infer where I'm at ;)

[JCTechSol]

Still here and still very much interesting in getting a working module :-)

Another happy NOKIA customer here, interested in using that module with ISAM devices. Currently have access to FX, FD and MX boxes in the lab and glad to help test/debug.

@wisotzky Good day, Were you able to get access to a 7360? Seems that you have a number of people here interested in the development of this module :-)

Having issues with Nokia SROS boxes using "network community modules" After debugging, I noticed that my issues happening because of this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.9.20/lib/ansible/plugins/connection/network_cli.py#L432-L436 This might fix your issue as well

Hi! Is there an update to this? I could not find any further issues about ISAM devices.
