You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.mso. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.mso.ndo_physical_interface.

Synopsis

• Manage Physical Interfaces on Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO).

• This module is only supported on ND v3.2 (NDO v4.4) and later.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• Multi Site Orchestrator v2.1 or newer

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
breakout_mode string	Breakout mode enables breaking down an ethernet port into multiple low-speed ports. This parameter is available only when physical_interface_type is breakout. The default value is 4x10G. Choices: "4x10G" "4x25G" "4x100G"
description string	The description of the Physical Interface.
host aliases: hostname string	IP Address or hostname of the ACI Multi Site Orchestrator host. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable MSO_HOST will be used instead.
interface_descriptions list / elements=dictionary	The interface settings defined in the interface settings policy will be applied to the interfaces on the node IDs configured in nodes. This parameter when set to an empty list during an update will clear all the existing interface descriptions. The API will trigger an error when there are duplicate interface IDs in the list.
description string	The description of the interface.
interface_id string	The interface ID.
interfaces list / elements=string	The interface names where the policy will be deployed. The old interfaces will be replaced with the new interfaces during an update.
login_domain string	The login domain name to use for authentication. The default value is Local. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable MSO_LOGIN_DOMAIN will be used instead. When using a HTTPAPI connection plugin the inventory variable ansible_httpapi_login_domain will be used if this attribute is not specified.
name aliases: physical_interface string	The name of the Physical Interface.
nodes list / elements=string	The node IDs where the Physical Interface policy will be deployed. Each element can either be a single node ID or a range of IDs.
output_level string	Influence the output of this MSO 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 MSO_OUTPUT_LEVEL will be used instead. Choices: "debug" "info" "normal" ← (default)
password string	The password to use for authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables MSO_PASSWORD or ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
physical_interface_type string	The type of the interface policy group. Choices: "physical" "breakout"
physical_policy aliases: policy, interface_policy, interface_policy_group, interface_setting dictionary	The interface group policy required for physical Interface Setting Policy. This parameter is required when physical_interface_type is physical. This parameter can be used instead of physical_policy_uuid.
name string	The name of the Interface Setting Policy.
template string	The name of the template in which is referred the Interface Setting Policy.
physical_policy_uuid aliases: policy_uuid, interface_policy_uuid, interface_policy_group_uuid, interface_setting_uuid string	The UUID of the Interface Setting Policy. This is only required when creating a new Interface Setting Policy. This parameter is required when physical_interface_type is physical. This parameter can be used instead of physical_policy.
port integer	Port number to be used for the REST connection. The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable MSO_PORT will be used instead.
state string	Use absent for removing. Use query for listing an object or multiple objects. Use present for creating or updating. Choices: "absent" "query" ← (default) "present"
template string / required	The name of the template. The template must be a fabric resource policy template.
timeout integer	The socket level timeout in seconds. The default value is 30 seconds. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable MSO_TIMEOUT will be used instead.
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 MSO_USE_PROXY will be used instead. The default 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 MSO_USE_SSL will be used instead. When using a HTTPAPI connection plugin the inventory variable ansible_httpapi_use_ssl will be used if this attribute is not specified. The default is false when using a HTTPAPI connection plugin (mso or nd) and true when using the legacy connection method (only for mso). Choices: false true
username string	The username to use for authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables MSO_USERNAME or ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
uuid aliases: physical_interface_uuid string	The UUID of the Physical Interface. This parameter is required when the name needs to be updated.
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 MSO_VALIDATE_CERTS will be used instead. The default is true. Choices: false true

Notes

Note

• The template must exist before using this module in your playbook. Use cisco.mso.ndo_template to create the Tenant template.

• The physical_policy must exist before using this module in your playbook. Use cisco.mso.ndo_interface_setting to create the Interface Setting Policy.

• The physical_policy_uuid must exist before using this module in your playbook. Use cisco.mso.ndo_interface_setting to create the Interface Setting Policy UUID.

• This module was written to support Multi Site Orchestrator v2.1 or newer. Some or all functionality may not work on earlier versions.
