@wolfgang-azevedo Have you tried to test it outside of Netbox i.e. direcly using napalm cli-tools?

It is really hard for me to tell given the above is a Netbox issue or a NAPALM issue (or a netbox plugin issue).

But basically NAPALM command line tools are saying you are not presenting the arguments properly to NAPALM command line tools. Which points to more of a netbox or netbox-napalm plugin issue.
