“through ansible” isn’t a playbook/task.

Provide the playbook and the invocation of it.

Hello,

This seems to happen because the stderr regex in the NX-OS terminal plugin doesn’t catch “Can’t configure more than 8 IP Servers”. However, starting with Ansible 2.9, the stdout and stderr regexes were made configurable options. Please refer to [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user\_guide/network\_debug\_troubleshooting.html#task-failure-due-to-mismatched-error-regex-within-command-response-using-network-cli-connection-type](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/network_debug_troubleshooting.html#task-failure-due-to-mismatched-error-regex-within-command-response-using-network-cli-connection-type) for more information.

In this particular case, you can try adding the following to the task:  
vars:  
ansible\_terminal\_stderr\_re:

- pattern: “can’t configure (.\*)”  
flags: 're.I

Thanks!
