Getting time out error for eos_modules such as eos_command

[Shubham Gampawar]

Hi there,

I am working on eos_ switches but when I am trying to get device running configuration, instead of the device running-config I am getting following error. I there any open bug in 2.5 for Eos modules.

fatal: [192.68.122.115]: FAILED! => {"msg": "timed out"}

Similarly, I am trying with ansible 2.4.3 still am getting following error
