Synopsis

Bind static paths to EPGs on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
annotation string		User-defined string for annotating an object. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_ANNOTATION` will be used instead.
ap string		Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs. aliases: app_profile, app_profile_name
certificate_name string		The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication. If a `private_key` filename was provided, this defaults to the `private_key` basename, without extension. If PEM-formatted content was provided for `private_key`, this defaults to the `username` value. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_CERTIFICATE_NAME` will be used instead. aliases: cert_name
deploy_immediacy string	Choices: immediate lazy	The Deployment Immediacy of Static EPG on PC, VPC or Interface. The APIC defaults to `lazy` when unset during creation.
description string		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 string		The name of the end point group. aliases: epg_name
extpaths list / elements=string		The `extpaths` integer value part of the tDn. `extpaths` is only used if `interface_type` is `fex`, `fex_vpc` or `fex_port_channel`. When `interface_type` is `fex_vpc`, then `extpaths` is a list with both fex IDs. Usually something like `1011`.
host string / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_HOST` will be used instead. aliases: hostname
interface string		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 string	Choices: 802.1p access native regular tagged trunk untagged	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 string	Choices: fex port_channel switch_port ← vpc fex_port_channel fex_vpc	The type of interface for the static EPG deployment.
leafs list / elements=string		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 string	Choices: debug info normal ←	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 If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OUTPUT_LEVEL` will be used instead.
output_path string		Path to a file that will be used to dump the ACI JSON configuration objects generated by the module. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OUTPUT_PATH` will be used instead.
owner_key string		User-defined string for the ownerKey attribute of an ACI object. This attribute represents a key for enabling clients to own their data for entity correlation. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OWNER_KEY` will be used instead.
owner_tag string		User-defined string for the ownerTag attribute of an ACI object. This attribute represents a tag for enabling clients to add their own data. For example, to indicate who created this object. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OWNER_TAG` will be used instead.
password string		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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables `ACI_PASSWORD` or `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` 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 integer		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_PORT` will be used instead.
primary_encap_id string		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` and C(unknown. `unknown` is the default value and using `unknown` disables the Micro-Segmentation. aliases: primary_vlan, primary_vlan_id
private_key string		Either a PEM-formatted private key file or the private key content used for signature-based authentication. This value also influences the default `certificate_name` that is used. This option is mutual exclusive with `password`. If `password` is provided too, it will be ignored. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_PRIVATE_KEY` or `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead. aliases: cert_key
state string	Choices: absent present ← query	Use `present` or `absent` for adding or removing. Use `query` for listing an object or multiple objects.
tenant string		Name of an existing tenant. aliases: tenant_name
timeout integer	Default: 30	The socket level timeout in seconds. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_TIMEOUT` will be used instead.
use_proxy boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_USE_PROXY` will be used instead.
use_ssl boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_USE_SSL` will be used instead.
username string	Default: "admin"	The username to use for authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables `ACI_USERNAME` or `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead. aliases: user
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_VALIDATE_CERTS` will be used instead.

Notes
