You are mixing up several things.  
Start with the example from  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user\_guide/platform\_ios.html#example-cli-group-vars-ios-yml](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html#example-cli-group-vars-ios-yml)

Your playbook is also faulty.  
Check the examples on
