ansible-doc ios_command not found

Question

The Ansible docs state that the ios_command module is a core module. However, if I look for docs on this I get:

$ ansible-doc ios_command
module ios_command not found in /usr/share/ansible:...

Any idea why?

Answer 1

Please check your Ansible version.
ios_command is available since version 2.1.
Also there may be situation when you have several different versions of Ansible on your machine (like apt and pip).

On my machine:

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.1.2.0
$ ansible-doc -l | grep ios_command
ios_command                        Run arbitrary commands on ios devices.
