Hi,

I am having an issue to send nxos\_command. I am able to test “show version” using NX-API Developer Sanbox, but couldn’t access “[http://10.2.100.100:80/ins](http://10.2.100.100:80/ins)” in browser. Here are the error and configuration information.

> ansible -m nxos\_command -a “host=10.2.100.100 username=admin password=password commands=‘show version’ transport=nxapi use\_ssl=no” localhost --connection local  
> localhost | FAILED! =\> {  
> “changed”: false,  
> “failed”: true,  
> “msg”: “Connection failure: timed out”,  
> “status”: -1,  
> “url”: “[http://10.2.100.100:80/ins](http://10.2.100.100:80/ins)”  
> }

#show feature | inc nxapi  
nxapi 1 enabled

> ansible --version

> configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
