aci_access_port_block_to_access_port – Manage port blocks of Fabric interface policy leaf profile interface selectors (infra:HPortS, infra:PortBlk)

New in version 2.8.

Synopsis

• Manage port blocks of Fabric interface policy leaf profile interface selectors on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
access_port_selector string / required		The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile access port selector. aliases: name, access_port_selector_name
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. aliases: cert_name
from_card string		The beginning (from-range) of the card range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: from_card_range
from_port string / required		The beginning (from-range) of the port range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: from, fromPort, from_port_range
host string / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
leaf_interface_profile string / required		The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile. aliases: leaf_interface_profile_name
leaf_port_blk string / required		The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile access port block. aliases: leaf_port_blk_name
leaf_port_blk_description -		The description to assign to the leaf_port_blk.
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
password string / 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 integer		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter use_ssl.
private_key string / required		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. aliases: cert_key
state string	Choices: absent present ← query	Use present or absent for adding or removing. Use query for listing an object or multiple objects.
timeout integer	Default: 30	The socket level timeout in seconds.
to_card string		The end (to-range) of the card range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: to_card_range
to_port string / required		The end (to-range) of the port range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: to, toPort, to_port_range
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 string	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.
