I have the ip’s of all of my switches along with logon info. I’d like to somehow have ansible generate a list of all managed switches containing hostname, model number, and serial number. Is that possible?

I was able to get the data I needed using this example:

I noticed the example I am using does work, but if there is a switch stack, its not returning all the stack’s serial numbers.
