…2586) The ansible.networking.network_cli connection plugin uses the ansible.netcommon.libssh connection plugin or falls back to ansible.builtin.paramiko. The ansible.builtin.paramiko connection no longer uses the variable 'ansible_ssh_common_args' to configure connecting via a jumphost, and now requires the variable 'ansible_paramiko_proxy_command'. This variable is also supported by ansible.netcommon.libssh >= 2.2.0 (in addition to ansible_libssh_proxy_command). Also fix example for ansible.netcommon.netconf, which never appears to have never supported 'ansible_ssh_common_args', but does support 'ansible_paramiko_proxy_command' and 'ansible_netconf_proxy_command'. (cherry picked from commit 3464ee2)

This is a backport of PR #2586 as merged into devel (3464ee2).
The
ansible.netcommon.network_cliconnection plugin uses theansible.netcommon.libsshconnection plugin or falls back toansible.builtin.paramiko.In ansible-core 2.18, the
ansible.builtin.paramikoconnection no longer uses the variableansible_ssh_common_argsto configure a jumphost, and instead requires the variableansible_paramiko_proxy_command(which is compatible withansible.netcommon.libsshin ansible.netcommon >= 2.2.0 too).Using the wrong variable could cause issues like https://forum.ansible.com/t/while-running-playbook-ansible-is-not-using-the-proxy/42323.
I also fixed the example for
ansible.netcommon.netconf, which never appears to have never supportedansible_ssh_common_args, but does supportansible_paramiko_proxy_commandandansible_netconf_proxy_commandto configure a jumphost.
