community.general.dimensiondata_vlan – Manage a VLAN in a Cloud Control network domain.

Note

This plugin is part of the community.general collection (version 3.8.1).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.general.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.general.dimensiondata_vlan.

Synopsis

  • Manage VLANs in Cloud Control network domains.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
allow_expand
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Permit expansion of the target VLAN's network if the module parameters specify a larger network than the VLAN currently possesses.
If False, the module will fail under these conditions.
This is intended to prevent accidental expansion of a VLAN's network (since this operation is not reversible).
description
string
A description of the VLAN.
location
string / required
The target datacenter.
mcp_password
string
The password used to authenticate to the CloudControl API.
If not specified, will fall back to MCP_PASSWORD from environment variable or ~/.dimensiondata.
Required if mcp_user is specified.
mcp_user
string
The username used to authenticate to the CloudControl API.
If not specified, will fall back to MCP_USER from environment variable or ~/.dimensiondata.
name
string / required
The name of the target VLAN.
network_domain
string / required
The Id or name of the target network domain.
private_ipv4_base_address
string
The base address for the VLAN's IPv4 network (e.g. 192.168.1.0).
private_ipv4_prefix_size
integer
The size of the IPv4 address space, e.g 24.
Required, if private_ipv4_base_address is specified.
region
string
Default:
"na"
The target region.
Regions are defined in Apache libcloud project [libcloud/common/dimensiondata.py]
Note that the default value "na" stands for "North America".
The module prepends 'dd-' to the region choice.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
  • readonly
The desired state for the target VLAN.
readonly ensures that the state is only ever read, not modified (the module will fail if the resource does not exist).
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If false, SSL certificates will not be validated.
This should only be used on private instances of the CloudControl API that use self-signed certificates.
wait
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Should we wait for the task to complete before moving onto the next.
wait_poll_interval
integer
Default:
2
The amount of time (in seconds) to wait between checks for task completion.
Only applicable if wait=true.
wait_time
integer
Default:
600
The maximum amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the task to complete.
Only applicable if wait=true.
