Parameters

Parameter	Comments
address aliases: addr, ip_address string	IP address.
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. If the value is not specified in the task and environment variable ACI_ANNOTATION then the default value will be used. Default: "orchestrator:ansible"
auto_state string	SVI auto state. Choices: "enabled" "disabled"
certificate_name aliases: cert_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.
description aliases: descr string	The description of the interface.
encap string	The encapsulation on the interface (e.g. “vlan-500”).
encap_scope string	The scope of the encapsulation on the interface. Choices: "vrf" "local"
host aliases: hostname 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 ACI_HOST will be used instead.
interface_profile aliases: interface_profile_name, logical_interface string / required	Name of the interface profile.
interface_type string	Type of interface to build. Choices: "l3-port" "sub-interface" "ext-svi"
ipv6_dad string	IPv6 DAD feature. Choices: "enabled" "disabled"
l3out aliases: l3out_name string / required	Name of an existing L3Out.
mac aliases: mac_address string	The MAC address of the interface.
micro_bfd boolean	Enable micro BFD on the interface. Micro BFD should only be configured on Infra SR-MPLS L3Outs Direct Port Channel Interfaces. Choices: false true
micro_bfd_destination aliases: micro_bfd_address, micro_bfd_destination_address string	The micro BFD destination address of the interface.
micro_bfd_timer aliases: micro_bfd_start_timer, micro_bfd_start integer	The micro BFD start timer in seconds. The APIC defaults to 0 when unset during creation.
mode string	Interface mode, only used if instance_type is ext-svi. Choices: "regular" "native" "untagged"
mtu string	Interface MTU.
node_id string	Node to build the interface on for Port-channels and single ports. Hyphen separated pair of nodes (e.g. “201-202”) for vPCs.
node_profile aliases: node_profile_name, logical_node string / required	Name of the node profile.
output_level string	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. Choices: "debug" "info" "normal" ← (default)
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.
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.
path_ep string	Path to interface. Interface Policy Group name for Port-channels and vPCs. Port number for single ports (e.g. “eth1/12”).
pod_id string	Pod to build the interface on.
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.
private_key aliases: cert_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.
state string	Use present or absent for adding or removing. Use query for listing an object or multiple objects. Choices: "absent" "present" ← (default) "query"
suppress_previous aliases: no_previous, ignore_previous boolean	If 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 ACI_SUPPRESS_PREVIOUS will be used instead. The default value is 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. Choices: false true
suppress_verification aliases: no_verification, no_verify, suppress_verify, ignore_verify, ignore_verification boolean	If 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 ACI_SUPPRESS_VERIFICATION will be used instead. The default value is 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. Choices: false true
tenant aliases: tenant_name string / required	Name of an existing tenant.
timeout integer	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. The default value is 30.
use_proxy boolean	If 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 ACI_USE_PROXY will be used instead. The default value is true. Choices: false true
use_ssl boolean	If 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 ACI_USE_SSL will be used instead. The default value is true when the connection is local. Choices: false true
username aliases: user string	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. The default value is admin.
validate_certs boolean	If false, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to 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 ACI_VALIDATE_CERTS will be used instead. The default value is true. Choices: false true

Notes

Note

• The tenant, l3out, node_profile and the interface_profile must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant, cisco.aci.aci_l3out, cisco.aci.aci_l3out_logical_node_profile and cisco.aci.aci_l3out_logical_interface_profile can be used for this.
