Hi @stevenjwilliams0728,
Yes! Many changes and now version 2.10 is out tool which has some major restructuring. But you mentioned 2.9 so I know this playbook works on 2.9.
Using this repository and specifically this playbook, ios_show_lab_brief.yml which shows the old provider syntax (commented out) but uses the new method (much more server like) you should be able to run your show arp command like I did below.
If you want to use the Docker image you can find that here or use your existing 2.0 control server. If you use the container, it comes with a few sample repositories including the cisco_ios one I mentioned. Note: I did edit the show commands to just run "show arp".
I then to learn by examples so I hope this helps.
