vars:

northregion: [ 'alp', alt' ]

playbook:- 

      name: Configure 

      ios_config:

        commands:

            - "{{ item }}"

      with_items: "{{ snmp_commands_ap }}"

      when:

          - "'csr' in ansible_net_hostname or 'asw' in ansible_net_hostname"

Use the search string test.

when: ansible_net_hostname is search('(csr|asw)')

You could store the regexp in a variable:

vars:

  regexp: 'csr|asw'

when: ansible_net_hostname is search(regexp)

Or you can construct the regexp from a list in the task.

- ios_config:

  ...

  when: ansible_net_hostname is search(regexp)

  vars:

    regexp: "{{ '|'.join(northregion) }}"
