hyperv_networklabel string		The network name label of the physical device dedicated to this traffic on a HyperV host.
isolation_method string	Choices: vlan vxlan	Use if the physical network has multiple isolation types and traffic type is public.
kvm_networklabel string		The network name label of the physical device dedicated to this traffic on a KVM host.
ovm3_networklabel string		The network name of the physical device dedicated to this traffic on an OVM3 host.
physical_network string / required		the name of the Physical Network
poll_async boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Poll async jobs until job has finished.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	State of the traffic type
traffic_type string / required	Choices: Management Guest Public Storage	the trafficType to be added to the physical network.
vlan string		The VLAN id to be used for Management traffic by VMware host.
vmware_networklabel string		The network name label of the physical device dedicated to this traffic on a VMware host.
xen_networklabel string		The network name label of the physical device dedicated to this traffic on a XenServer host.
zone string		Name of the zone with the physical network. Default zone will be used if this is empty.

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.
