Synopsis
Manage End Point Groups (EPG) objects (fv:AEPg)
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| annotation | string | orchestrator:ansible | User-defined string for annotating an object. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_ANNOTATION) will be used instead. If the value is not specified in the task and environment variable C(ACI_ANNOTATION) then the default value will be used. | |
| ap | string | Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs. | ||
| bd | string | Name of the bridge domain being associated with the EPG. | ||
| certificate_name | string | The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication. If a C(private_key) filename was provided, this defaults to the C(private_key) basename, without extension. If PEM-formatted content was provided for C(private_key), this defaults to the C(username) value. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_CERTIFICATE_NAME) will be used instead. | ||
| custom_qos_policy | string | The name of the custom Quality of Service policy. | ||
| description | string | Description for the EPG. | ||
| epg | string | Name of the end point group. | ||
| fwd_control | string | The forwarding control used by the EPG. The APIC defaults to C(none) when unset during creation. | ||
| host | string | 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 C(ACI_HOST) will be used instead. | ||
| intra_epg_isolation | The Intra EPG Isolation. The APIC defaults to C(unenforced) when unset during creation. | |||
| match | string | The match type of the default Block Statement (fv:Crtrn). The APIC defaults to C(any) when unset during creation. | ||
| monitoring_policy | string | The name of the monitoring policy. | ||
| name_alias | string | The alias for the current object. This relates to the nameAlias field in ACI. | ||
| output_level | string | normal | Influence the output of this ACI module. C(normal) means the standard output, incl. C(current) dict C(info) adds informational output, incl. C(previous), C(proposed) and C(sent) dicts C(debug) adds debugging output, incl. C(filter_string), C(method), C(response), C(status) and C(url) information If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(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 C(ACI_OUTPUT_PATH) will be used instead. | ||
| password | string | The password to use for authentication. This option is mutual exclusive with C(private_key). If C(private_key) is provided too, it will be used instead. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables C(ACI_PASSWORD) or C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will be used instead. | ||
| port | int | Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter C(use_ssl). If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_PORT) will be used instead. | ||
| precedence | int | The Block Statement(fv:Crtrn) Precedence to resolve equal matches between micro segmented EPGs. The APIC defaults to C(0) when unset during creation. | ||
| preferred_group | bool | Whether or not the EPG is part of the Preferred Group and can communicate without contracts. This is very convenient for migration scenarios, or when ACI is used for network automation but not for policy. The APIC defaults to C(false) when unset during creation. | ||
| priority | string | The QoS class. The APIC defaults to C(unspecified) when unset during creation. | ||
| 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 C(certificate_name) that is used. This option is mutual exclusive with C(password). If C(password) is provided too, it will be ignored. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_PRIVATE_KEY) or C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE) will be used instead. | ||
| state | string | present | Use C(present) or C(absent) for adding or removing. Use C(query) for listing an object or multiple objects. | |
| suppress_previous | bool | If C(true), a GET to check previous will not be sent before a POST update to APIC. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_SUPPRESS_PREVIOUS) will be used instead. The default value is C(false). WARNING - This causes the previous return value to be empty. The previous state of the object will not be checked and the POST update will contain all properties. | ||
| suppress_verification | bool | If C(true), a verifying GET will not be sent after a POST update to APIC. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_SUPPRESS_VERIFICATION) will be used instead. The default value is C(false). WARNING - This causes the current return value to be set to the proposed value. The current object including default values will be unverifiable in a single task. | ||
| tenant | string | Name of an existing tenant. | ||
| timeout | int | The socket level timeout in seconds. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_TIMEOUT) will be used instead. The default value is 30. | ||
| use_proxy | bool | If C(false), 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 C(ACI_USE_PROXY) will be used instead. The default value is true. | ||
| use_ssl | bool | If C(false), 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 C(ACI_USE_SSL) will be used instead. The default value is true when the connection is local. | ||
| useg | string | Use C(yes) to create uSeg EPG and C(no) is used to create Application EPG. | ||
| username | string | The username to use for authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables C(ACI_USERNAME) or C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME) will be used instead. The default value is admin. | ||
| validate_certs | bool | If C(false), SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to C(false) when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_VALIDATE_CERTS) will be used instead. The default value is true. |
