The provided Ansible playbook is designed to connect to an IOS router and execute the "show run" command to retrieve the current running configuration. The configuration is then registered in a variable called config. The next task copies the output stored in the config variable to a file in a specified directory on the local machine. The file is named based on the router's hostname.

Here are the steps:

Define the hosts: The playbook targets the {{ router }} group or host.

Gather facts: Enabled with gather_facts: true to collect useful information about the target devices.

Connection type: Local, meaning the playbook runs on the local machine where Ansible is invoked.

Task 1 - ios_command:

Executes the "show run" command.

Uses the provided router credentials.

Registers the command output to the config variable.

Task 2 - copy:

Takes the first element from config.stdout (the output of the "show run" command).

Copies this content to a file in /etc/ansible/configs/, naming the file command_{{ router_hostname }}.txt.

Check below the answer exact.

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface card (NIC) for communications at the data link layer of a network segment. MAC addresses are used within local area networks (LANs) to ensure that data packets are delivered to the correct hardware device. Every network interface on a device, such as a computer, router, or switch, has a unique MAC address.
