+VyOS Platform Options
+***************************************
+
+The `VyOS <https://galaxy.ansible.com/vyos/vyos>`_ collection supports the ``ansible.netcommon.network_cli`` connection type. This page offers details on connection options to manage VyOS using Ansible.

+The ``ansible_connection: local`` has been deprecated. Please use ``ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli`` instead.
+
+Using CLI in Ansible
+====================
+
+Example CLI ``group_vars/vyos.yml``
+-----------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   ansible_connection: ansible.netcommon.network_cli
+   ansible_network_os: vyos.vyos.vyos
+   ansible_user: myuser
+   ansible_password: !vault...
+   ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bastion01"'
+
+
+- If you are using SSH keys (including an ssh-agent) you can remove the ``ansible_password`` configuration.
+- If you are accessing your host directly (not through a bastion/jump host) you can remove the ``ansible_ssh_common_args`` configuration.
+- If you are accessing your host through a bastion/jump host, you cannot include your SSH password in the ``ProxyCommand`` directive. To prevent secrets from leaking out (for example in ``ps`` output), SSH does not support providing passwords through environment variables.
+
+Example CLI task
+----------------
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   - name: Retrieve VyOS version info
+     vyos.vyos.vyos_command:
+       commands: show version
+     when: ansible_network_os == 'vyos.vyos.vyos'
