Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
admin_state_up boolean		Choices: no yes	Sets admin state.
allowed_address_pairs list / elements=dictionary			Allowed address pairs list. Allowed address pairs are supported with dictionary structure. e.g. allowed_address_pairs: - ip_address: 10.1.0.12 mac_address: ab:cd:ef:12:34:56 - ip_address: ...
	ip_address string		The IP address.
	mac_address string		The MAC address.
api_timeout integer			How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary			Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, user_domain_name or project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string			Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone string			Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert string			A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert
client_cert string			A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert
client_key string			A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key
cloud raw			Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
device_id string			Device ID of device using this port.
device_owner string			The ID of the entity that uses this port.
extra_dhcp_opts list / elements=dictionary			Extra dhcp options to be assigned to this port. Extra options are supported with dictionary structure. Note that options cannot be removed only updated. e.g. extra_dhcp_opts: - opt_name: opt name1 opt_value: value1 ip_version: 4 - opt_name: ...
	ip_version integer / required		The IP version this DHCP option is for.
	opt_name string / required		The name of the DHCP option to set.
	opt_value string / required		The value of the DHCP option to set.
fixed_ips list / elements=dictionary			Desired IP and/or subnet for this port. Subnet is referenced by subnet_id and IP is referenced by ip_address.
	ip_address string / required		The fixed IP address to attempt to allocate.
	subnet_id string		The subnet to attach the IP address to.
interface string		Choices: admin internal public ←	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
mac_address string			MAC address of this port.
name string			Name that has to be given to the port.
network string			Network ID or name this port belongs to. Required when creating a new port.
no_security_groups boolean		Choices: no ← yes	Do not associate a security group with this port.
port_security_enabled boolean		Choices: no yes	Whether to enable or disable the port security on the network.
region_name string			Name of the region.
security_groups list / elements=string			Security group(s) ID(s) or name(s) associated with the port (comma separated string or YAML list)
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Should the resource be present or absent.
timeout integer		Default: 180	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs boolean		Choices: no ← yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to yes. aliases: verify
vnic_type string		Choices: normal direct direct-physical macvtap baremetal virtio-forwarder	The type of the port that should be created
wait boolean		Choices: no yes ←	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes

Note

• The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

• Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/
