I'm just starting to automate my company's network using Ansible and Netbox for dynamic inventory and Source of Truth (SoT). I have a general question: how do you deal with old, unsupported IOS devices when working with Ansible? Some modules require commands like "show run | section," which my Cisco 4506 switches can't handle. Right now, I'm using a TTP template within a rescue block to format the output from "show run" on these unsupported IOS devices. I'm curious about how others handle this situation.
