New in version 2.5.
Synopsis
- Manage physical, virtual, bridged, routed or FC domain profiles on Cisco ACI fabrics.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| certificate_name
-
|
The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication.
It defaults to the
private_key basename, without extension.
aliases: cert_name |
|
| domain
-
|
Name of the physical, virtual, bridged routed or FC domain profile.
aliases: domain_name, domain_profile, name |
|
| domain_type
-
|
|
The type of domain profile.
fc: The FC domain profile is a policy pertaining to single FC Management domain
l2dom: The external bridged domain profile is a policy for managing L2 bridged infrastructure bridged outside the fabric.
l3dom: The external routed domain profile is a policy for managing L3 routed infrastructure outside the fabric.
phys: The physical domain profile stores the physical resources and encap resources that should be used for EPGs associated with this domain.
vmm: The VMM domain profile is a policy for grouping VM controllers with similar networking policy requirements.
aliases: type |
| dscp
-
|
|
The target Differentiated Service (DSCP) value.
The APIC defaults to
unspecified when unset during creation.
aliases: target |
| encap_mode

IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host.
aliases: hostname |
|
| multicast_address
-
|
The muticast IP address to use for the virtual switch.
|
|
| output_level
-
|
|
Influence the output of this ACI module.
normal means the standard output, incl. current dict
info adds informational output, incl. previous, proposed and sent dicts
debug adds debugging output, incl. filter_string, method, response, status and url information
|
| password
- / required
|
The password to use for authentication.
This option is mutual exclusive with private_key. If private_key is provided too, it will be used instead.
|
|
| port
-
|
Port number to be used for REST connection.
The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`.
|
|
| private_key
- / required

PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for signature-based authentication.
The name of the key (without extension) is used as the certificate name in ACI, unless
certificate_name is specified.
This option is mutual exclusive with
password. If password is provided too, it will be ignored.
aliases: cert_key |
|
| state
-
|
|
Use
present or absent for adding or removing.
Use query for listing an object or multiple objects.
|
| timeout
integer
|
Default:
30
|
The socket level timeout in seconds.
|
| use_proxy
boolean
|
|
If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.
|
| use_ssl
boolean

|
If
no, SSL certificates will not be validated.
This should only set to no when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
|
| vm_provider
-
|
|
The VM platform for VMM Domains.
Support for Kubernetes was added in ACI v3.0.
Support for CloudFoundry, OpenShift and Red Hat was added in ACI v3.1.
|
| vswitch
-
|
|
The virtual switch to use for vmm domains.
The APIC defaults to default when unset during creation.
