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  
config file = /home/mccamish.ladm/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [u’/home/mccamish/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible  
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-playbook
