Dick,
thanks for that, other than the strange behavior for anything with the 8 or
9 in it not formatting correctly.
My next issue I can't resolve is to make this loop through a 'multi-layer'
dictionary
top:
device1:
name: test_name1
vlanid: 2-10,800-810
device2:
name: test_name2
vlanid: 100-120
My brain is a bit frazzled right now but I may be looking at this from the
wrong angle.
My idea, if possible is to be able to:
1. User to input 'name:' for each device/endpoint ('device1:' ,
'device2:')
2. User input of 'vlanid:' for each specific device/endpoint ('device1:'
, 'device2:')
3. Ansible to loop through 'top:'
1. Use 'name:' input
2. Expand 'vlanid:'
3. Build required objects in ACI, on per device/endpoint deployment
If I can get this work once, I hope to be able to use it on other ACI
object creations that are endpoint specific.
I have tried using sub_elements in my past playbook, which works fine, but
I have to input each 'vlanid' individually into a list
top:
device1:
name: test_name1
vlanid:
- '0002'
- '0003'
- '0004'
.....
- '0919'
device2:
name: test_name2
vlanid:
- '0100'
- '0101'
- '0102'
- '0103'
...
- '0120'
Again, any assistance would be great.
Regards
