ansible_network_os=ios
ansible_user=admin
ansible_password=cisco

  tasks:
    - name: configure ospf
      ios_config:
        lines:

Try adding that `ansible_become: yes` and `ansible_become_method: enable` and `ansible_become_password: "{{ansible_become_password}}"` to the `ios_config` module options. — Jack, May 22 '20 at 15:50
Oh, wait. Try setting `ansible_become_password` in your vars. — Jack, May 22 '20 at 15:51
@Jack There is no such variable ansible_become_password in network_cli — MUSR, May 23 '20 at 07:46
The docs say there is: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html — Jack, May 23 '20 at 11:38
Strange. Here they mention it but in network_cli documentation there isn't any. I will try it and let you know. Thanks. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/connection/network_cli.html — MUSR, May 23 '20 at 11:39

You need to set ansible_become_password.
