Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_http_method string	Choices: get post	HTTP method used to query the API endpoint. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_METHOD env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is get if not specified.
api_key string		API key of the CloudStack API. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_KEY env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_region string	Default: "cloudstack"	Name of the ini section in the cloustack.ini file. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_REGION env variable is considered.
api_secret string		Secret key of the CloudStack API. If not set, the CLOUDSTACK_SECRET env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
api_timeout integer		HTTP timeout in seconds. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes. Fallback value is 10 seconds if not specified.
api_url string		URL of the CloudStack API e.g. https://cloud.example.com/client/api. If not given, the CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT env variable is considered. As the last option, the value is taken from the ini config file, also see the notes.
broadcast_domain_range string	Choices: POD ZONE	broadcast domain range for the physical network[Pod or Zone].
domain string		Domain the network is owned by.
isolation_method string	Choices: VLAN GRE L3	Isolation method for the physical network.
name string / required		Name of the physical network. aliases: physical_network
network_speed string	Choices: 1G 10G	The speed for the physical network.
nsps_disabled list		List of Network Service Providers to disable.
nsps_enabled list		List of Network Service Providers to enable.
poll_async boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Poll async jobs until job has finished.
state string	Choices: present ← absent disabled enabled	State of the physical network.
tags string		A tag to identify this network. Physical networks support only one tag. To remove an existing tag pass an empty string. aliases: tag
vlan string		The VLAN/VNI Ranges of the physical network.
zone string		Name of the zone in which the network belongs. If not set, default zone is used.

Notes

Note

• Ansible uses the cs library’s configuration method if credentials are not provided by the arguments api_url, api_key, api_secret. Configuration is read from several locations, in the following order. The CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT, CLOUDSTACK_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_SECRET and CLOUDSTACK_METHOD. CLOUDSTACK_TIMEOUT environment variables. A CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG environment variable pointing to an .ini file. A cloudstack.ini file in the current working directory. A .cloudstack.ini file in the users home directory. Optionally multiple credentials and endpoints can be specified using ini sections in cloudstack.ini. Use the argument api_region to select the section name, default section is cloudstack. See https://github.com/exoscale/cs for more information.

• A detailed guide about cloudstack modules can be found in the CloudStack Cloud Guide.

• This module supports check mode.
