Hello,

I want to create (configurate) “vlan” in my device (switch) when it is not available on my equipment

for configurate or ( add) vlan in the switch I use the module “ios\_vlans”

for gather facts of my device I use “ios\_facts”

you will find below how are stored all the vlans currently available on my equipment
