New in version 2.5.
Synopsis
- Bind static paths to EPGs on Cisco ACI fabrics.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| ap
-
|
Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs.
aliases: app_profile, app_profile_name |
|
| 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 |
|
| deploy_immediacy
-
|

The Deployement Immediacy of Static EPG on PC, VPC or Interface.
The APIC defaults to lazy when unset during creation.
|
| description
-
added in 2.7
|
Description for the static path to EPG binding.
aliases: descr |
|
| encap_id
integer
|
The encapsulation ID associating the
epg with the interface path.
This acts as the secondary
encap_id when using micro-segmentation.
Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between
1 and 4096.
aliases: vlan, vlan_id |
|
| epg
-
|
The name of the end point group.
aliases: epg_name |
|
| extpaths
integer
|
The
extpaths integer value part of the tDn.
extpaths is only used if interface_type is fex.
Usually something like 1011.
|
|
| host
- / required
|
IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host.
aliases: hostname |
|
| interface
-
|
The
interface string value part of the tDn.
Usually a policy group like test-IntPolGrp or an interface of the following format 1/7 depending on interface_type.
|
|
| interface_mode
-
|
|
Determines how layer 2 tags will be read from and added to frames.
Values
802.1p and native are identical.
Values
access and untagged are identical.
Values
regular, tagged and trunk are identical.
The APIC defaults to
trunk when unset during creation.
aliases: interface_mode_name, mode |
| interface_type
-
|
|
The type of interface for the static EPG deployement.
|
| leafs
-
|
The switch ID(s) that the
interface belongs to.
When
interface_type is switch_port, port_channel, or fex, then leafs is a string of the leaf ID.
When
interface_type is vpc, then leafs is a list with both leaf IDs.
The
leafs value is usually something like '101' or '101-102' depending on connection_type.
aliases: leaves, nodes, paths, switches |
|
| 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.
|
|
| pod_id
integer
|
The pod number part of the tDn.
pod_id is usually an integer below 10.
aliases: pod, pod_number |
|
| port
-
|
Port number to be used for REST connection.
The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`.
|
|
| primary_encap_id
integer
|
Determines the primary encapsulation ID associating the
epg with the interface path when using micro-segmentation.
Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between
1 and 4096.
aliases: primary_vlan, primary_vlan_id |
|
| 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.
|
| tenant
-
|
Name of an existing tenant.
aliases: tenant_name |
|
| 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, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
|
| username
-
|
Default:
"admin"
|
The username to use for authentication.

If
no, SSL certificates will not be validated.
This should only set to no when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Notes
Note
- The
tenant,ap,epgused must exist before using this module in your playbook. The aci_tenant, aci_ap, aci_epg modules can be used for this. - More information about the internal APIC classes fv:RsPathAtt from the APIC Management Information Model reference.
