New in version 2.8.

Synopsis

  • Manage port blocks of Fabric interface policy leaf profile interface selectors on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
access_port_selector
string / required
The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile access port selector.

aliases: name, access_port_selector_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.

aliases: cert_name
from_card
string
The beginning (from-range) of the card range block for the leaf access port block.

aliases: from_card_range
from_port
string / required
The beginning (from-range) of the port range block for the leaf access port block.

aliases: from, fromPort, from_port_range
host
string / required
IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host.

aliases: hostname
leaf_interface_profile
string / required
The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile.

aliases: leaf_interface_profile_name
leaf_port_blk
string / required
The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile access port block.

aliases: leaf_port_blk_name
leaf_port_blk_description
-
The description to assign to the leaf_port_blk.
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
password
string / 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
integer
Port number to be used for REST connection.
The default value depends on parameter use_ssl.
private_key
string / required
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.

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.
timeout
integer
Default:
30
The socket level timeout in seconds.
to_card
string
The end (to-range) of the card range block for the leaf access port block.

aliases: to_card_range
to_port
string / required
The end (to-range) of the port range block for the leaf access port block.

aliases: to, toPort, to_port_range
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.
use_ssl
boolean
    Choices:
