Enables or Disables physical interfaces 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. If the value is not specified in the task and environment variable `ACI_ANNOTATION` then the default value will be used. Default: `"orchestrator:ansible"`
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.
fex_id integer	The fex ID that the `interface` belongs to. The `fex_id` value is usually something like ‘123’.
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 name of the `interface` that is targeted. Usually an interface name with the following format `1/7`.
node_id aliases: leaf, spine, node integer	The switch ID that the `interface` belongs to. The `node_id` value is usually something like ‘101’.
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. `pod_id` is usually an integer below `12`
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.
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 `false`, 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: `false` `true` ← (default)
use_ssl boolean	If `false`, 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: `false` `true` ← (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 `false`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `false` 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: `false` `true` ← (default)
