What is the proper syntax for starting a session between a remote device and my ansible control node if the device is behind a PAT boundary? - ansible

Question

I am new to Ansible and currently whenever I try to run my playbook I get an error "fatal: [E3]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Received disconnect from 76.81.200.163 port 30003:2: Bad string Length\r\nDisconnected from 76.81.200.163 port 30003", "unreachable": true}"
This is the same across all devices in the inventory file.
This is meant to help audit networking equipment behind a gateway we have setup. I've tried adjusting the syntax of the inventory file to read ansible_ssh_user instead of ansible_user. This seemed to yield similar results.

The command being used is as follows:
sudo ansible-playbook showFacts.yml -i hosts
The goal was to audit the equipment and see what information could be found on the switches with the commands in the playbook.
I ran the command with -vvvv and received the following output

Answer 1

I managed to figured it out.
The following is the inventory file:
[test:vars]
ansible_user=username
ansible_password=password
ansible_become_pass=password
[test]
Manseau-E5 ansible_port=30005 ansible_host=67.53.178.51
Manseau-E6 ansible_port=30006 ansible_host=67.53.178.51
Manseau-E7 ansible_port=30006 ansible_host=67.53.178.51
Manseau-E8 ansible_port=30006 ansible_host=67.53.178.51
Then the actual playbook
---

#gather_facts: no
vars:
ansible_network_os: icx
ansible_connection: network_cli
ansible_become: True
ansible_become_method: enable
