An engineer runs an Ansible playbook against 40 Cisco IOS-XE routers to apply a large OSPF configuration block using the ios_config module over the network_cli connection. On several routers with slow response times, the play fails with 'command timeout triggered, timeout value is 30 secs'. The configuration itself is valid and applies successfully when entered manually. Without changing the OSPF task logic, which action most directly resolves these timeout failures?
