Hi,
The last couple of days i created a nice playbook for our switches to be configured out of the box. Everything is done via Ansible and works fine. The only thing i cant get to work is add ports a vlan via a loop.

I want to have a list like: untagged_ports: [1/1, 1/2, 1/3].
Than Ansible needs to do something like:

port_id: "{{ item.data_vlan_ports}}"
        port_mode: "{{ item.mode}}"       
      with_items:
        - {mode: POM_UNTAGGED, data_vlan_ports: "{{untagged_ports}}"}

The following code gives me the error:
HTTP Error 400: Bad Request", "requestid": "", "server": "eHTTP v2.0", "status": 400, "transfer-encoding": "chunked".

what do i wrong?
Can someone please point me in the right direction. I found many tutorials about lists and in a debug it works. Only in combination with aruba vlan it doesnt work.

In the end i want to achieve something like this:

vlan_1_ports:
	- tagged:
		[1, 2, 3, 7]
	- untagged:
		[10, 11, 12]

vlan_2_ports:
	- tagged:
		[1,2]
	- untagged:
		[23, 24]

Thanks in advance.

Hey jangenent!

It looks like you're using the arubaoss_vlan module to do this, right?

We actually have an example of how to achieve what you're looking for here:

https://github.com/aruba/aruba-ansible-modules/blob/master/example_playbooks/arubaoss/vlan.yml

On line 57, we're using a loop to remove multiple ports from a VLAN. What you're trying to do is essentially the same except this example is a subtractive operation as opposed to an additive operation. But hopefully this example gives you an idea of how to structure your loop!

Cheers,
