Can someone show me where my mistakes are with the below playbook? When i try to run this playbook it tells me it fails at 

    - name: run multiple commands on remote nodes
      ^ here

---
- name: get version
 hosts: all
 gather_facts: false
 connection: local

  tasks:
   - name: run multiple commands on remote nodes
     ios_command:
       commands:
         - show version
         - show ip int brief

      register: print_output

    -  debug: var=print_output.stdout_lines

"hosts" should come before "name". I think.

hosts/name order does not matter, indentation does seem to be off, -
debug should start at same level as the previous task

I think the 3 lines under "- name" need to be indented level with the 'n'.

Oh, whoops - I was looking at the wrong '- name'

so from emai (not a good source) the indentations were off in many
places, this is a 'fixed' version of your play:


- name: get version
hosts: all
gather_facts: false
connection: local
tasks:

- name: run multiple commands on remote nodes
ios_command:
commands:
- show version
- show ip int brief
register: print_output

- debug: var=print_output.stdout_lines
