cisco.aci.aci_fabric_leaf_switch_assoc module – Manage leaf switch bindings to profiles and policy groups (fabric:LeafS and fabric:RsLeNodePGrp).

Note

This module is part of the cisco.aci collection (version 2.2.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.aci.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.aci.aci_fabric_leaf_switch_assoc.

Synopsis

• Manage fabric leaf switch associations (fabric:LeafS) to an existing fabric leaf profile (fabric:leafP) in an ACI fabric, and bind them to a policy group (fabric:RsLeNodePGrp)

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.
description aliases: descr string	Description of the Fabric Switch Association
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 aliases: association_name, switch_association string	Name of the switch association
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.
policy_group string	Name of an existing leaf switch policy group
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 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.
profile aliases: leaf_profile, leaf_switch_profile string	Name of an existing fabric leaf switch profile
state string	Use present or absent for adding or removing. Use query for listing an object or multiple objects. Choices: absent present ← (default) query
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 profile must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_fabric_leaf_profile module can be used for this.
