Bind Contracts to External End Point Groups (EPGs) on ACI fabrics.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
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.
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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_CERTIFICATE_NAME` will be used instead. aliases: cert_name
contract string		Name of the contract.
contract_type string / required	Choices: consumer provider	The type of contract.
extepg string		Name of the external end point group. aliases: extepg_name, external_epg
host string / required		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. aliases: hostname
l3out string		Name of the l3out. aliases: l3out_name
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 If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `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 `ACI_OUTPUT_PATH` will be used instead.
owner_key string		User-defined string for the ownerKey attribute of an ACI object. This attribute represents a key for enabling clients to own their data for entity correlation. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OWNER_KEY` will be used instead.
owner_tag string		User-defined string for the ownerTag attribute of an ACI object. This attribute represents a tag for enabling clients to add their own data. For example, to indicate who created this object. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OWNER_TAG` 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.
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.
priority string	Choices: level1 level2 level3 unspecified	This has four levels of priority.
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 `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` will be used instead. aliases: cert_key
provider_match string	Choices: all at_least_one at_most_one none	This is configurable for provided contracts.
state string	Choices: absent present ← query	Use `present` or `absent` for adding or removing. Use `query` for listing an object or multiple objects.
tenant string		Name of existing tenant.
timeout integer	Default: 30	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.
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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_USE_PROXY` will be used instead.
use_ssl boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, 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.
username string	Default: "admin"	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. aliases: user
validate_certs boolean	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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_VALIDATE_CERTS` will be used instead.

Notes ¶

Note

The tenant, l3out and extepg must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant, cisco.aci.aci_l3out and cisco.aci.aci_l3out_extepg modules can be used for this.
