Cisco and ios_command "unable to set terminal parameters" error

[Scott McCamish]

I'm new to ansible.  I've tried several switch and router versions.  All attempts result in the same error.

I am able to log into the switch from my ansible host as the network-users.

ansible-playbook 2.4.2.0

And this is also output:

Looking at that page, I don't see anything about "unable to set terminal parameters"

Thanks,
