aci_l3out_extepg – Manage External Network Instance Profile (ExtEpg) objects (l3extInstP:instP)

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• Manage External Network Instance Profile (ExtEpg) objects (l3extInstP:instP)

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
description string		Description for the ExtEpg. aliases: descr
dscp string	Choices: AF11 AF12 AF13 AF21 AF22 AF23 AF31 AF32 AF33 AF41 AF42 AF43 CS0 CS1 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 CS6 CS7 EF VA unspecified	The target Differentiated Service (DSCP) value. The APIC defaults to unspecified when unset during creation. aliases: target
extepg string / required		Name of ExtEpg being created. aliases: extepg_name, name
host string / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
l3out string / required		Name of an existing L3Out. aliases: l3out_name
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.
preferred_group boolean	Choices: no yes	Whether ot not the EPG is part of the Preferred Group and can communicate without contracts. This is very convenient for migration scenarios, or when ACI is used for network automation but not for policy. The APIC defaults to no when unset during creation.
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 / required		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 and domain and vrf used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The aci_tenant and aci_domain and aci_vrf modules can be used for this.
