Synopsis ¶

Add, Update or Remove ports from an OpenStack cloud. A state of ‘present’ will ensure the port is created or updated if required.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.7
openstacksdk >= 0.12.0

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
admin_state_up boolean	Choices: no yes	Sets admin state.
allowed_address_pairs -		Allowed address pairs list. Allowed address pairs are supported with dictionary structure. e.g. allowed_address_pairs: - ip_address: 10.1.0.12 mac_address: ab:cd:ef:12:34:56 - ip_address: ...
api_timeout integer		How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary		Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string		Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone -		Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert string		A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert
client_cert string		A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert
client_key string		A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key
cloud raw		Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
device_id -		Device ID of device using this port.
device_owner -		The ID of the entity that uses this port.
extra_dhcp_opts -		Extra dhcp options to be assigned to this port. Extra options are supported with dictionary structure. e.g. extra_dhcp_opts: - opt_name: opt name1 opt_value: value1 - opt_name: ...
fixed_ips -		Desired IP and/or subnet for this port. Subnet is referenced by subnet_id and IP is referenced by ip_address.
interface string	Choices: admin internal public ←	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
mac_address -		MAC address of this port.
name -		Name that has to be given to the port.
network - / required		Network ID or name this port belongs to.
no_security_groups boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Do not associate a security group with this port.
port_security_enabled boolean added in 2.8	Choices: no yes	Whether to enable or disable the port security on the network.
region_name string		Name of the region.
security_groups -		Security group(s) ID(s) or name(s) associated with the port (comma separated string or YAML list)
state -	Choices: present ← absent	Should the resource be present or absent.
timeout integer	Default: 180	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to `yes`. aliases: verify
vnic_type - added in 2.8	Choices: normal direct direct-physical macvtap baremetal virtio-forwarder	The type of the port that should be created
wait boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes ¶

Note

The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/
