Synopsis

• Manage External Subnet objects (l3extSubnet:extsubnet)

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
description string		Description for the External Subnet. aliases: descr
extepg string / required		Name of an existing ExtEpg. aliases: extepg_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
l3out string / required		Name of an existing L3Out. aliases: l3out_name
name_alias string		The alias for the current object. This relates to the nameAlias field in ACI.
network string		The network address for the Subnet. aliases: address, ip
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
scope list / elements=string	Choices: export-rtctrl import-security ← shared-rtctrl shared-security Default: ["import-security"]	Determines the scope of the Subnet. The export-rtctrl option controls which external networks are advertised out of the fabric using route-maps and IP prefix-lists. The import-security option classifies for the external EPG. The rules and contracts defined in this external EPG apply to networks matching this subnet. The shared-rtctrl option controls which external prefixes are advertised to other tenants for shared services. The shared-security option configures the classifier for the subnets in the VRF where the routes are leaked. The APIC defaults to import-security when unset during creation.
state string	Choices: absent present ← query	Use present or absent for adding or removing. Use query for listing an object or multiple objects.
subnet_name string		Name of External Subnet being created. aliases: name
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 domain and vrf used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant and cisco.aci.aci_domain and cisco.aci.aci_vrf modules can be used for this.
