don't use load_merge_candidate (napalm) on router

Question

when I configure automation with napalm. I try use load_merge_candidate but it not running. My file configuration

import json
from napalm import get_network_driver
print ('conecting ssh')
driver = get_network_driver('ios')
iosvl2 = driver('192.168.1.2', 'khamnguyen', 'admin')
iosvl2.open()

print ('Accessing 192.168.1.2')
iosvl2.load_merge_candidate(filename='ACL1.cfg')

diffs = iosvl2.compare_config()
if len(diffs) > 0:
    print(diffs)
    iosvl2.commit_config()
else:
    print('No changes required.')
    iosvl2.discard_config()

iosvl2.close()

Can you try your config commands explicitly?

driver = get_network_driver('ios')
device = driver('192.168.159.10', 'admin', 'ultraconfig')
device.open()
device.load_merge_candidate(config='interface GigabitEthernet2\n ip address 
10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0\n no shutdown\n end\n')
print(device.compare_config())
device.commit_config()
device.close()
