How to do it...

1. Create a new playbook called pb_op_cmds.yml and populate it with the following tasks to create the directory structure to save the output from the devices:

---
  - name: "Play 1: Execute Operational Commands"
    hosts: network
    vars:
      config_folder: "configs"
      op_folder: "op_data"
      op_cmds:
        - show ip ospf neighbor
        - show ip route
    tasks:
      - name: "P1T1: Build Directories to Store Data"
        block:
          - name: "Create folder to store Device config"
            file:
              path: "{{ config_folder }}"
              state: directory
          - name: "Create Folder to store operational commands"
            file:
              path: "{{ op_folder }}"
              state: directory
        run_once: yes
        delegate_to: localhost

2. Update the pb_op_cmds.yml playbook and populate it with the following tasks to retrieve the running configuration from the devices:

      - name: "P1T2: Get Running configs from Devices"
        ios_command:
          commands: show running-config
        register: show_run
      - name: "P1T3: Save Running Config per Device"
        copy:
          content: "{{ show_run.stdout[0] }}"
          dest: "{{ config_folder }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}.cfg"

3. Update the playbook and populate it with the following tasks to retrieve the operational commands from the devices and save it:

      - name: "P1T4: Create Folder per Device"
        file:
          path: "{{ op_folder}}/{{ inventory_hostname }}"
          state: directory
        delegate_to: localhost
      - name: "P1T5: Get Operational Data from Devices"
        ios_command:
          commands: "{{ item }}"
        register: op_output
        loop: "{{ op_cmds }}"
      - name: "P1T6: Save output per each node"
        copy:
          content: "{{ item.stdout[0] }}"
          dest: "{{ op_folder}}/{{ inventory_hostname }}/{{item.item | replace(' ', '_')}}.txt"
        loop: "{{ op_output.results }}"
