---
  - name: Create Host objects from a loop
    amotolani.cisco_fmc.network:
        name: "{{item.name}}"
        state: present
        network_type: Host
        fmc: ciscofmc.com
        value: "{{item.value}}"
        username: admin
        password: Cisco1234
        auto_deploy: true
    loop:
        - {name: Host1 , value: 10.10.10.2}
        - {name: Host2 , value: 10.10.10.3}
