Need help with raw configuration write to a Nexus device.
It works if the args is one line and API returns. If there are multiple lines in args the configuration change is done successfully on the device but the API returns read timeout. Tried increasing read timeout/ write timeout and it is not helping. Can do 2 API calls for global config but my need is to push an interface block as well.
Using the following API to write a change to the device.
Success case
