network interface through loop/iteration

MAULIK_NUTA — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 13:05:06 GMT

i'm trying to create interface every time i run my playbook and meanwhile i also need to make sure that it will compare the existing interface details and creating new one by incrementing interface/tunnel no...

i have tried to create two task , first task about to gather interface facts and that works fine. but i'm not sure how use " create interface number only if that is not present in facts" and this keep going on while i run playbook for next time...

***Interface_facts details:***

tasks:
         - name: load var
           include_vars: provider.yaml

         - name: interface_fact
           panos_facts:
                   provider: '{{ provider }}'
                   gather_subset: ['interfaces']
           register: interface

         - debug:
                 msg: "{{ interface | json_query('ansible_facts.ansible_net_interfaces[*].name') }}"

***interface_creation:*** 

         - name: Create tunnel interfaces
           panos_tunnel:
               provider: '{{ provider }}'
               if_name: 'tunnel.{{ item }}'
               #ip: '{{ item.ip }}/30'
               management_profile: 'PING-ONLY'
               state: 'present'
               zone_name: 'AWS-REMOTE-ZONE'
               vr_name: 'default'
               commit: False
               #  comment: "AWS {{ account_no }} {{ region }} - {{ ticket }} {{ requester }} - {{ application }} "
           loop: "{{ range(111,112)|list }}"
