--- - name: Create IOS Global configuration ios_config: src: ../../templates/configurations/ios/01_ios_global.j2 provider: "{{ ioscli }}" register: global_config_results Make a simple change to a host_vars file, DIST01.yml, adding a VLAN just to observe the playbook’s results.

Create a working branch, DEMO_VLAN, in the repository. Refresh the local repository, change to this branch, and make the following changes:

First open the DIST01.yml file and add a VLAN:
