Synopsis ¶

Manage Subnets on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
bd -		The name of the Bridge Domain. aliases: bd_name
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
description -		The description for the Subnet. aliases: descr
enable_vip boolean	Choices: no yes	Determines if the Subnet should be treated as a VIP; used when the BD is extended to multiple sites. The APIC defaults to `no` when unset during creation.
gateway -		The IPv4 or IPv6 gateway address for the Subnet. aliases: gateway_ip
host - / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
mask integer		The subnet mask for the Subnet. This is the number assocated with CIDR notation. For IPv4 addresses, accepted values range between `0` and `32`. For IPv6 addresses, accepted Values range between `0` and `128`. aliases: subnet_mask
nd_prefix_policy -		The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Prefix Policy to associate with the Subnet.
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`.
preferred boolean	Choices: no yes	Determines if the Subnet is preferred over all available Subnets. Only one Subnet per Address Family (IPv4/IPv6). can be preferred in the Bridge Domain. The APIC defaults to `no` when unset during creation.
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
route_profile -		The Route Profile to the associate with the Subnet.
route_profile_l3_out -		The L3 Out that contains the assocated Route Profile.
scope list	Choices: private public shared	Determines the scope of the Subnet. The `private` option only allows communication with hosts in the same VRF. The `public` option allows the Subnet to be advertised outside of the ACI Fabric, and allows communication with hosts in other VRFs. The shared option limits communication to hosts in either the same VRF or the shared VRF. The value is a list of options, `private` and `public` are mutually exclusive, but both can be used with `shared`. The APIC defaults to `private` when unset during creation.
state -	Choices: absent present ← query	Use `present` or `absent` for adding or removing. Use `query` for listing an object or multiple objects.
subnet_control -	Choices: nd_ra no_gw querier_ip unspecified	Determines the Subnet's Control State. The `querier_ip` option is used to treat the gateway_ip as an IGMP querier source IP. The `nd_ra` option is used to treate the gateway_ip address as a Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement Prefix. The `no_gw` option is used to remove default gateway functionality from the gateway address. The APIC defaults to `nd_ra` when unset during creation.
subnet_name -		The name of the Subnet. aliases: name
tenant -		The name of the Tenant. aliases: tenant_name
timeout integer	Default: 30	The socket level timeout in seconds.
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.
use_ssl boolean	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 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.

Notes ¶

Note

The gateway parameter is the root key used to access the Subnet (not name), so the gateway is required when the state is absent or present.
The tenant and bd used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The aci_tenant module and aci_bd can be used for these.
