Invalid input detected at '^' marker. (Ansible 2.2 ios_config module)

[Kyle Patton]

I've tried numerous different configurations to get ios_config to shutdown a port.

According to documentation I think this should work.

---

- name: provider for logging into switches / routers

  set_fact:

    cli:

      host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

      username: "{{ ios_username }}"

      password: "{{ ios_password }}"

      auth_pass: "{{ ios_password }}"

  no_log: True

- name: push a configuration onto the device

  ios_config:

    src: test.j2

    match: none

    provider: "{{ cli }}"

(

test.j2 contains

interface Gi5/8

shutdown 

)

Exits with error displayed in title. I've tried with authorize set to true as well.
