Hi, Can you please check the collection version that you are using? I tried reproducing the same on my end. And it works fine for me. Regards, Sagar Paul ---

Hi Sagar Thanks for your prompt reply , the test I have conducted was on Switch Cisco 2960X when I change the host to a Cisco 9200 switch it surprisingly works and I am confused now , how would different switch types give me different results ? ---

Hi Hossein, Would you be able to help me with the collection version you are using and the cisco ios version that both the devices have? Note the currently supported version of the collection is 15.6.x we are planning to upgrade to 17.4.x soon. Regards, Sagar Paul ---

Hi Hossein, Thanks for sharing the details. You may use “ansible-galaxy collection list .” to figure out the collection version you are using. You may raise an issue [here](https://github.com/ansible-collections/cisco.ios/issues) for me to track it better. Regards, Sagar Paul ---

Hi Hossein, So the issue you shared, doesn’t really have to do anything with the ansible-core version being used, would you be able to share the output of `ansible-galaxy collection list cisco.ios` That would help me triage your issue better. Regards, Sagar Paul ---

Hi Paul I am using bellow python and ansible versions python version = 2.7.5 ansible 2.9.27 it looks like with the current setup ansible-galaxy collection command does not work for me please see below [root@ansiblecontroller ~]# ansible-galaxy collection list cisco.ios usage: ansible-galaxy collection [-h] COLLECTION\_ACTION … ansible-galaxy collection: error: argument COLLECTION\_ACTION: invalid choice: u’list’ (choose from ‘init’, ‘build’, ‘publish’, ‘install’) ---

I have run into this issue before. It has to do with how the module gets information from the show run It is checking info by running: Show running-configuration | section interface GigabitEthernet 2/0/25 My guess is if you run the command on the 2960 it will fail.
