Hi,

How defined variable value when other variable for different the 1.

Exemplo

vars:  
networkinterface\_number: 1

- name: Create network interface  
azure\_rm\_networkinterface:  
name: “interface{{networkinterface\_number}}”  
resource\_group: my\_resource  
virtual\_network\_name: my\_virtual\_network\_name  
subnet\_name: my\_subnet  
ip\_configurations:
- name: ipconfig1  
public\_ip\_address\_name: “{{ [get\_ip\_public.state.name](http://get_ip_public.state.name) }}”  
primary: True **# if “{{networkinterface\_number}}” for equal 1 primary True else False**  
with\_sequence: count=3 #“{{networkinterface\_number}}”

public\_ip\_address\_name: “{{ [get\_ip\_public.state.name](http://get_ip_public.state.name) }}”  
primary: False  
with\_sequence: start=1 end=networkinterface\_number

Would be my suggestion, it looks like it’d need some work around the IP address assignments.

OK, but have 10 network?

This network interface number is dynamic. The one interface is TRUE, more ins FALSE

Ok, the first interface TRUE and 0\> is false.

How to with\_sequence: start=1 end= **“networkinterface\_number - 1”**
