Bind Contracts to L2 External End Point Groups (EPGs) on 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.
contract string	Name of the contract.
contract_type string / required	The type of contract. Choices: `"consumer"` `"provider"`
extepg aliases: extepg_name, external_epg string	Name of the external end point group.
host aliases: hostname string	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.
l2out aliases: l2out_name string	Name of the l2out.
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.
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	This has four levels of priority. 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	This is configurable for provided contracts. Choices: `"all"` `"at_least_one"` `"at_most_one"` `"none"`
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 string	Name of 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. The default value is 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. The default value is true. Choices: `false` `true`
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. The default value is true when the connection is local. Choices: `false` `true`
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. The default value is 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. The default value is true. Choices: `false` `true`

Notes 

Note

The tenant, l2out and extepg must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant, cisco.aci.aci_l2out and cisco.aci.aci_l2out_extepg modules can be used for this.
