Answer 1

That looks like an indention error to me. You have with_items with the same indention as aci_rest:
# Adding OBB address
- name: Add OBB address
delegate_to: localhost
aci_rest:
host: "{{ aci_ip }}"
username: ansible
private_key: ansible.key
certificate_name: ansible
use_ssl: yes
validate_certs: false
path: /api/node/mo/uni/tn-mgmt/mgmtp-default/oob-default/rsooBStNode-[topology/pod-1/node-"{{ item.node_id }}"].json
method: post
content:
{
"mgmtRsOoBStNode":{
"attributes":{
"tDn":"topology/pod-1/node-101",
"addr":"25.96.131.61/27",
"gw":"25.96.131.33",
"status":"created"
},
"children":[
]
}
}
with_items: "{{ oob_nodes }}"
Have a look at the documentation as well.
