Manage initial Contract Subjects 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.
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.
consumer_match string	The match criteria across consumers. The APIC defaults to `at_least_one` when unset during creation. Choices: all at_least_one at_most_one none
contract aliases: contract_name string	The name of the Contract.
description aliases: descr string	Description for the contract subject.
dscp aliases: target string	The target DSCP. The APIC defaults to `unspecified` when unset during creation. Choices: AF11 AF12 AF13 AF21 AF22 AF23 AF31 AF32 AF33 AF41 AF42 AF43 CS0 CS1 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 CS6 CS7 EF VA unspecified
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.
name_alias string	The alias for the current object. This relates to the nameAlias field in ACI.
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.
priority string	The QoS class. The APIC defaults to `unspecified` when unset during creation. Choices: level1 level2 level3 unspecified
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.
provider_match string	The match criteria across providers. The APIC defaults to `at_least_one` when unset during creation. Choices: all at_least_one at_most_one none
reverse_filter boolean	Determines if the APIC should reverse the src and dst ports to allow the return traffic back, since ACI is stateless filter. The APIC defaults to `yes` when unset during creation. Choices: no yes
state string	Use `present` or `absent` for adding or removing. Use `query` for listing an object or multiple objects. Choices: absent present ← (default) query
subject aliases: contract_subject, name, subject_name string	The contract subject name.
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)

Note

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