    This play will log into the group [ios] and get the vlan info from each S1 and S3. The information will be stored in the variable *'vland'*.

         var: vland

This play will log into the group [ios] and get the vlan info from each S1 and S3. The information will be stored in the variable *'vland'*.

.. code-block:: bash

   ansible-playbook -i inventory ios.yml


Now that the play has executed, let's look at the logs generated.

.. code-block:: bash
   :caption: Ansible logs

   cat ansible.log

If time permits, you can re-run this play but ``limit`` the play to a single host even though we are using the group name

.. code-block:: bash
   :caption: Limit 

   ansible-playbook -i inventory ios.yml --limit "S1"
