Notes

Note

  • The tenant, ap, epg, and domain used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant cisco.aci.aci_ap, cisco.aci.aci_epg cisco.aci.aci_domain modules can be used for this.

  • OpenStack VMM domains must not be created using this module. The OpenStack VMM domain is created directly by the Cisco APIC Neutron plugin as part of the installation and configuration. This module can be used to query status of an OpenStack VMM domain.
