aci_static_binding_to_epg – Bind static paths to EPGs (fv:RsPathAtt)

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

• Bind static paths to EPGs on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
ap string		Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs. aliases: app_profile, app_profile_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
deploy_immediacy string	Choices: immediate lazy	The Deployment Immediacy of Static EPG on PC, VPC or Interface. The APIC defaults to lazy when unset during creation.
description string added in 2.7		Description for the static path to EPG binding. aliases: descr
encap_id integer		The encapsulation ID associating the epg with the interface path. This acts as the secondary encap_id when using micro-segmentation. Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between 1 and 4096. aliases: vlan, vlan_id
epg string		The name of the end point group. aliases: epg_name
extpaths integer		The extpaths integer value part of the tDn. extpaths is only used if interface_type is fex. Usually something like 1011.
host string / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
interface string		The interface string value part of the tDn. Usually a policy group like test-IntPolGrp or an interface of the following format 1/7 depending on interface_type.
interface_mode string	Choices: 802.1p access native regular tagged trunk untagged	Determines how layer 2 tags will be read from and added to frames. Values 802.1p and native are identical. Values access and untagged are identical. Values regular, tagged and trunk are identical. The APIC defaults to trunk when unset during creation. aliases: interface_mode_name, mode
interface_type string	Choices: fex port_channel switch_port ← vpc	The type of interface for the static EPG deployment.
leafs list		The switch ID(s) that the interface belongs to. When interface_type is switch_port, port_channel, or fex, then leafs is a string of the leaf ID. When interface_type is vpc, then leafs is a list with both leaf IDs. The leafs value is usually something like '101' or '101-102' depending on connection_type. aliases: leaves, nodes, paths, switches
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.
pod_id integer		The pod number part of the tDn. pod_id is usually an integer below 10. aliases: pod, pod_number
port integer		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter use_ssl.
primary_encap_id integer		Determines the primary encapsulation ID associating the epg with the interface path when using micro-segmentation. Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between 1 and 4096. aliases: primary_vlan, primary_vlan_id
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.
tenant string		Name of an existing 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 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.

Notes

Note

• The tenant, ap, epg used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The aci_tenant, aci_ap, aci_epg modules can be used for this.
