Manage Subnets on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters 

Parameter	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.
bd aliases: bd_name string	The name of the Bridge Domain.
certificate_name aliases: cert_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.
description aliases: descr string	The description for the Subnet.
enable_vip boolean	Determines if the Subnet should be treated as a VIP; used when the BD is extended to multiple sites. The APIC defaults to `no` when unset during creation. Choices: no yes
gateway aliases: gateway_ip string	The IPv4 or IPv6 gateway address for the Subnet.
host aliases: hostname 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.
mask aliases: subnet_mask integer	The subnet mask for the Subnet. This is the number associated with CIDR notation. For IPv4 addresses, accepted values range between `0` and `32`. For IPv6 addresses, accepted Values range between `0` and `128`.
name_alias string	The alias for the current object. This relates to the nameAlias field in ACI.
nd_prefix_policy string	The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Prefix Policy to associate with the Subnet.
output_level string	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. Choices: debug info normal ← (default)
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.
preferred boolean	Determines if the Subnet is preferred over all available Subnets. Only one Subnet per Address Family (IPv4/IPv6). can be preferred in the Bridge Domain. The APIC defaults to `no` when unset during creation. Choices: no yes
private_key aliases: cert_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` or `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
route_profile string	The Route Profile to the associate with the Subnet.
route_profile_l3_out string	The L3 Out that contains the associated Route Profile.
scope list / elements=string	Determines the scope of the Subnet. The `private` option only allows communication with hosts in the same VRF. The `public` option allows the Subnet to be advertised outside of the ACI Fabric, and allows communication with hosts in other VRFs. The shared option limits communication to hosts in either the same VRF or the shared VRF. The value is a list of options, `private` and `public` are mutually exclusive, but both can be used with `shared`. The APIC defaults to `private` when unset during creation. Choices: private public shared
state string	Use `present` or `absent` for adding or removing. Use `query` for listing an object or multiple objects. Choices: absent present ← (default) query
subnet_control string	Determines the Subnet’s Control State. The `querier_ip` option is used to treat the gateway_ip as an IGMP querier source IP. The `nd_ra` option is used to treat the gateway_ip address as a Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement Prefix. The `no_gw` option is used to remove default gateway functionality from the gateway address. The APIC defaults to `nd_ra` when unset during creation. Choices: nd_ra no_gw querier_ip unspecified
subnet_name aliases: name string	The name of the Subnet.
tenant aliases: tenant_name string	The name of the Tenant.
timeout integer	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. Default: 30
use_proxy boolean	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. Choices: no yes ← (default)
use_ssl boolean	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. Choices: no yes ← (default)
username aliases: user string	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. Default: “admin”
validate_certs boolean	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. Choices: no yes ← (default)

Notes 

Note

The gateway parameter is the root key used to access the Subnet (not name), so the gateway is required when the state is absent or present.
The tenant and bd used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant module and cisco.aci.aci_bd can be used for these.
