Hi Carlos,

Sorry I made a mistake (That’s what I get for replying to posts at 1am 😆 )

You need `return_rc=True` not `return_stderr=True`

Here’s an example:

```python
***Test Cases***
Carlos Pitero 1
  Open Connection ${IP}
  Login ${User} ${Password}
  ${output} ${rc}= Execute Command ifconfig return_rc=True
  Log ${rc}
  IF ${rc} == 0
    Log command has been executed with success
  ELSE
    Log command failed with error level ${rc}
  END
  Log ${output}
  Close Connection

```

Dave.
