No, because you didn't ask any.  
So, what is your question?  
Please be very specific, and show playbooks, variables, etc.

thx

I’m pretty sure you mean to ask “ **DO** I need to run the same playbook with different variables for ports”? And it sounds like you’ve got a working play that acts on the port given to ‘var’.  
If that’s it, then yes that is your easiest solution without changing your code. Call the play once with each value. Since it’s an install play, that might be fine. But if it’s also got for instance a start/stop play  
then that not very elegant, or efficient, so you could instead run a with\_items loop over ‘var\_list’, where ‘var\_list’ will be a list of ports to act on.

Good Luck! If you need more help, show us your code. 🙂
