I have issue with issue command via raw module against cisco device

ansible r1 -m raw -a “show vlan brief”  
SSH password:  
r1 | SUCCESS | rc=0 \>\>

Line has invalid autocommand “show vlan brief”

But “show ver/show clock” works fine

Have you tried using paramiko as the connection plugin?

Many of these appliances don't have a 'standard' ssh service and the  
OpenSSH client (most common one installed) can have issues with it.  
Paramiko is a python ssh implementation and is a lot more forgiving  
with some of these appliances.
