cisco.aci.aci_static_binding_to_epg module – Bind static paths to EPGs (fv:RsPathAtt)

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_static_binding_to_epg.

Synopsis

• Bind static paths to EPGs 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.
ap aliases: app_profile, app_profile_name string	Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs.
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.
deploy_immediacy string	The Deployment Immediacy of Static EPG on PC, VPC or Interface. The APIC defaults to lazy when unset during creation. Choices: immediate lazy
description aliases: descr string	Description for the static path to EPG binding.
encap_id aliases: vlan, vlan_id integer	The encapsulation ID associating the epg with the interface path. This acts as the secondary encap_id when using micro-segmentation. Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between 1 and 4096.
epg aliases: epg_name string	The name of the end point group.
extpaths list / elements=string	The extpaths integer value part of the tDn. extpaths is only used if interface_type is fex, fex_vpc or fex_port_channel. When interface_type is fex_vpc, then extpaths is a list with both fex IDs. Usually something like 1011.
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.
interface string	The interface string value part of the tDn. Usually a policy group like test-IntPolGrp or an interface of the following format 1/7 depending on interface_type.
interface_mode aliases: interface_mode_name, mode string	Determines how layer 2 tags will be read from and added to frames. Values 802.1p and native are identical. Values access and untagged are identical. Values regular, tagged and trunk are identical. The APIC defaults to trunk when unset during creation. Choices: 802.1p access native regular tagged trunk untagged
interface_type string	The type of interface for the static EPG deployment. Choices: fex port_channel switch_port ← (default) vpc fex_port_channel fex_vpc
leafs aliases: leaves, nodes, paths, switches list / elements=string	The switch ID(s) that the interface belongs to. When interface_type is switch_port, port_channel, or fex, then leafs is a string of the leaf ID. When interface_type is vpc, then leafs is a list with both leaf IDs. The leafs value is usually something like ‘101’ or ‘101-102’ depending on connection_type.
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.
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.
pod_id aliases: pod, pod_number integer	The pod number part of the tDn. pod_id is usually an integer below 10.
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.
primary_encap_id aliases: primary_vlan, primary_vlan_id string	Determines the primary encapsulation ID associating the epg with the interface path when using micro-segmentation. Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between 1 and 4096 and C(unknown. unknown is the default value and using unknown disables the Micro-Segmentation.
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.
state string	Use present or absent for adding or removing. Use query for listing an object or multiple objects. Choices: absent present ← (default) query
tenant aliases: tenant_name string	Name of an existing 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 tenant, ap, epg used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant, cisco.aci.aci_ap, cisco.aci.aci_epg modules can be used for this.
