@tevehmas Do you have ansible.netcommon and ansible.utils installed in the air-gapped machine? The cisco.nxos collection requires these two, which is likely why ansible-galaxy fails trying to pull them from galaxy.ansible.com.

Please install the aforementioned collections first and then try installing cisco.nxos. If that doesn't solve this issue, please open a ticket in https://github.com/ansible/ansible since it would be a ansible-galaxy CLI client issue then. Thank you!
