Synopsis ¶

Manage physical, virtual, bridged, routed or FC domain profiles on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
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
domain		Name of the physical, virtual, bridged routed or FC domain profile. aliases: domain_name, domain_profile, name
domain_type	Choices: fc l2dom l3dom phys vmm	The type of domain profile. `fc`: The FC domain profile is a policy pertaining to single FC Management domain `l2dom`: The external bridged domain profile is a policy for managing L2 bridged infrastructure bridged outside the fabric. `l3dom`: The external routed domain profile is a policy for managing L3 routed infrastructure outside the fabric. `phys`: The physical domain profile stores the physical resources and encap resources that should be used for EPGs associated with this domain. `vmm`: The VMM domain profile is a policy for grouping VM controllers with similar networking policy requirements. aliases: type
dscp	Choices: AF11 AF12 AF13 AF21 AF22 AF23 AF31 AF32 AF33 AF41 AF42 AF43 CS0 CS1 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 CS6 CS7 EF VA unspecified	The target Differentiated Service (DSCP) value. The APIC defaults to `unspecified` when unset during creation. aliases: target
encap_mode	Choices: unknown vlan vxlan	The layer 2 encapsulation protocol to use with the virtual switch.
host required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
multicast_address		The muticast IP address to use for the virtual switch.
output_level	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 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		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`.
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	Choices: absent present ← query	Use `present` or `absent` for adding or removing. Use `query` for listing an object or multiple objects.
timeout int	Default: 30	The socket level timeout in seconds.
use_proxy bool	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 bool	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
username	Default: admin	The username to use for authentication. aliases: user
validate_certs bool	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.
vm_provider	Choices: cloudfoundry kubernetes microsoft openshift openstack redhat vmware	The VM platform for VMM Domains. Support for Kubernetes was added in ACI v3.0. Support for CloudFoundry, OpenShift and Red Hat was added in ACI v3.1.
vswitch	Choices: avs default dvs unknown	The virtual switch to use for vmm domains. The APIC defaults to `default` when unset during creation.
