Hi Mohanraj, As the error states, you have defined an unsupported parameter “commands” for cli\_command module and your task should look something like below: ```auto - name: run command expecting user confirmation cli_command: command: show interface summary prompt: Press any key to continue answer: y newline: false ``` Refer [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/cli\_command\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/cli_command_module.html) Regards, Ompragash ---
