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
annotation string		User-defined string for annotating an object. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_ANNOTATION` will be used instead.
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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_CERTIFICATE_NAME` will be used instead. 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		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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_HOST` will be used instead. 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 If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OUTPUT_LEVEL` will be used instead.
output_path string		Path to a file that will be used to dump the ACI JSON configuration objects generated by the module. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OUTPUT_PATH` will be used instead.
owner_key string		User-defined string for the ownerKey attribute of an ACI object. This attribute represents a key for enabling clients to own their data for entity correlation. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OWNER_KEY` will be used instead.
owner_tag string		User-defined string for the ownerTag attribute of an ACI object. This attribute represents a tag for enabling clients to add their own data. For example, to indicate who created this object. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_OWNER_TAG` will be used instead.
password string		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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables `ACI_PASSWORD` or `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
port integer		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_PORT` will be used instead.
private_key string		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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_PRIVATE_KEY` will be used instead. 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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_TIMEOUT` will be used instead.
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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_USE_PROXY` will be used instead.
use_ssl boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_USE_SSL` will be used instead.
username string	Default: "admin"	The username to use for authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables `ACI_USERNAME` or `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead. 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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ACI_VALIDATE_CERTS` will be used instead.
