Hi,

I am trying to load a pretty long access-list to a Catalyst 3850 using Ansible ios-config module with the src option.

- name: copy to the acl to target switches  
ios\_template:  
src:a\_test\_acl.txt

However it only works with the list with less than 378 entries. I can confirm that there is no problem with the switching accept long access list.  
I also tried the ios\_config module.
