Hi, 

Can you please check the collection version that you are using?
I tried reproducing the same on my end. And it works fine for me.

Hi Sagar

Thanks for your prompt reply , the test I have conducted was on Switch  Cisco 2960X when I change the host to a Cisco  9200 switch it surprisingly works

and I am confused now , how would different switch types  give me different results ?

Thank you

Regards,

Sagar Paul

Hi PAul

Sure , here is the 9200 version

Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 17.03.04b
Cisco IOS Software [Amsterdam], Catalyst L3 Switch Software (CAT9K_LITE_IOSXE),

and here is the 2960X version

Cisco IOS Software, C2960X Software (C2960X-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.2(7)E5

Hi Hossein,

Thanks for sharing the details.

You may use "ansible-galaxy collection list <namespace>.<collection>" to figure out the collection version you are using.
You may raise an issue here for me to track it better.

Sagar Paul

Hello

I'm using ansible 2.9 and this command does not work on this version

I think I need to upgrade it to 2.10

Hi Hossein,

So the issue you shared, doesn't really have to do anything with the ansible-core version being used, 
would you be able to share the output of `ansible-galaxy collection list cisco.ios`
That would help me triage your issue better.

Regards,

Sagar Paul

Hi Paul

I am using bellow python and ansible versions

 python version = 2.7.5

 ansible 2.9.27

it looks like with the current setup ansible-galaxy collection command does not work for me please see below

 

[root@ansiblecontroller ~]# ansible-galaxy collection list cisco.ios
usage: ansible-galaxy collection [-h] COLLECTION_ACTION ...
ansible-galaxy collection: error: argument COLLECTION_ACTION: invalid choice: u'list' (choose from 'init', 'build', 'publish', 'install')

I have run into this issue before.

It has to do with how the module gets information from the show run

It is checking info by running:

Show running-configuration | section interface GigabitEthernet 2/0/25

My guess is if you run the command on the 2960 it will fail.
