aci_config_rollback – Provides rollback and rollback preview functionality (config:ImportP)

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

• Provides rollback and rollback preview functionality for Cisco ACI fabrics.
• Config Rollbacks are done using snapshots aci_snapshot with the configImportP class.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
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
compare_export_policy string		The export policy that the compare_snapshot is associated to.
compare_snapshot string		The name of the snapshot to compare with snapshot.
description string		The description for the Import Policy. aliases: descr
export_policy string / required		The export policy that the snapshot is associated to.
fail_on_decrypt boolean	Choices: no yes	Determines if the APIC should fail the rollback if unable to decrypt secured data. The APIC defaults to yes when unset.
host string / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
import_mode string	Choices: atomic best-effort	Determines how the import should be handled by the APIC. The APIC defaults to atomic when unset.
import_policy string		The name of the Import Policy to use for config rollback.
import_type string	Choices: merge replace	Determines how the current and snapshot configuration should be compared for replacement. The APIC defaults to replace when unset.
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
snapshot string / required		The name of the snapshot to rollback to, or the base snapshot to use for comparison. The aci_snapshot module can be used to query the list of available snapshots.
state string	Choices: preview rollback ←	Use preview for previewing the diff between two snapshots. Use rollback for reverting the configuration to a previous snapshot.
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.
