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.
ap string / required		Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs. aliases: app_profile, app_profile_name
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
contract_master_ap string		Name of the application profile where the contract master EPG is.
contract_master_epg string		Name of the end point group which serves as contract master.
epg string / required		Name of the end point group. aliases: epg_name, name
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
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
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. 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.

Notes

Note

• The tenant and app_profile used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant and cisco.aci.aci_ap modules can be used for this.
