Synopsis ¶

Bind leaf selectors (with node block range and policy group) to switch policy leaf profiles on Cisco ACI fabrics.

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		The description to assign to the `leaf`.
from integer		Start of Node Block range. aliases: node_blk_range_from, from_range, range_from
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
leaf string		Name of Leaf Selector. aliases: name, leaf_name, leaf_profile_leaf_name, leaf_selector_name
leaf_node_blk string		Name of Node Block range to be added to Leaf Selector of given Leaf Profile. aliases: leaf_node_blk_name, node_blk_name
leaf_node_blk_description string		The description to assign to the `leaf_node_blk`
leaf_profile string		Name of the Leaf Profile to which we add a Selector. aliases: leaf_profile_name
name_alias string		The alias for the current object. This relates to the nameAlias field in ACI.
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.
policy_group string		Name of the Policy Group to be added to Leaf Selector of given Leaf Profile. aliases: name, policy_group_name
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.
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.
to integer		Start of Node Block range. aliases: node_blk_range_to, to_range, range_to
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

This module is to be used with cisco.aci.aci_switch_policy_leaf_profile. One first creates a leaf profile (infra:NodeP) and then creates an associated selector (infra:LeafS),
