CONF T, on the APIC CLI supports interface ranges. But fabricRsOosPath in the API does not. I don't know if that helps you or not.

Have you tried a variable to a CSV file?

[johnjac-cisco]

That could work, but that seems a lot more complex solution vs being able to send a playbook "eth1/1-12". I get that the underlining API fabricRsOosPath also doesn't support ranges, but it would be beneficial if someone could make a playbook once, and it would be simple after that.

[JT252]

I agree.

Next release will have the interface_range lookup plugin.

See here how to use it with interface blacklist: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-aci/blob/0bc26bb919981f3dca21ffc4bdd21eaf6c8583f6/tests/integration/targets/aci_lookup_interface_range/tasks/main.yml#L109
