netapp.ontap.na_ontap_security_ipsec_policy module – NetApp ONTAP module to create, modify or delete security IPsec policy.

Note

This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 22.8.3).

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 netapp.ontap. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp.ontap.na_ontap_security_ipsec_policy.

New in netapp.ontap 22.1.0

Synopsis

  • Create, modify or delete security IPsec policy.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Ansible 2.9 or later - 2.12 or later is recommended.

  • Python3 - 3.9 or later is recommended.

  • When using ZAPI, netapp-lib 2018.11.13 or later (install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’), netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues

  • a physical or virtual clustered Data ONTAP system, the modules support Data ONTAP 9.1 and onward, REST support requires ONTAP 9.6 or later

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

action

string

Action for the IPsec policy.

Cannot modify after create.

Choices:

  • "bypass"

  • "discard"

  • "esp_transport"

  • "esp_udp"

authentication_method

string

Authentication method for the IPsec policy.

Supported from 9.10.1 or later.

Cannot modify after create.

Choices:

  • "none"

  • "psk"

  • "pki"

cert_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client cert file (.pem).

not supported with python 2.6.

certificate

string

Certificate for the IPsec policy.

Supported from 9.10.1 or later.

Required when authentication_method is ‘pki’ in create.

enabled

boolean

Indicates whether or not the policy is enabled.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

feature_flags

dictionary

added in netapp.ontap 20.5.0

Enable or disable a new feature.

This can be used to enable an experimental feature or disable a new feature that breaks backward compatibility.

Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored.

force_ontap_version

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.23.0

Override the cluster ONTAP version when using REST.

The behavior is undefined if the version does not match the target cluster.

This is provided as a work-around when the cluster version cannot be read because of permission issues. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap/wiki/Known-issues.

This should be in the form 9.10 or 9.10.1 with each element being an integer number.

When use_rest is set to auto, this may force a switch to ZAPI based on the version and platform capabilities.

Ignored with ZAPI.

hostname

string / required

The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.

http_port

integer

Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port

https

boolean

Enable and disable https.

Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.

Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

ipspace

string

IPspace name where svm exist.

key_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client key file.

local_endpoint

dictionary

Local endpoint for the IPsec policy.

address

string / required

IPv4 or IPv6 address.

netmask

string / required

Input as netmask length (16) or IPv4 mask (255.255.0.0).

For IPv6, the default value is 64 with a valid range of 1 to 127.

port

string

Application port to be covered by the IPsec policy, example 23.

local_identity

string

local IKE endpoint’s identity for authentication purpose.

name

string / required

Name of the security IPsec policy

ontapi

integer

The ontap api version to use

password

aliases: pass

string

Password for the specified user.

protocol

string

protocol to be protected by by this policy.

example ‘any’ or ‘0’, ‘tcp’, ‘udp’ or protocol number.

remote_endpoint

dictionary

remote endpoint for the IPsec policy.

address

string / required

IPv4 or IPv6 address.

netmask

string / required

Input as netmask length (16) or IPv4 mask (255.255.0.0).

For IPv6, the default value is 64 with a valid range of 1 to 127.

port

string

Application port to be covered by the IPsec policy, example 23 or 23-23.

remote_identity

string

remote IKE endpoint’s identity for authentication purpose.

secret_key

string

Pre-shared key for IKE negotiation.

Required when authentication_method is ‘psk’ in create.

Cannot modify after create.

state

string

Create or delete security IPsec policy.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

svm

string

The name of the SVM.

Required when creating security IPsec policy.

use_rest

string

Whether to use REST or ZAPI.

always – will always use the REST API if the module supports REST. A warning is issued if the module does not support REST. An error is issued if a module option is not supported in REST.

never – will always use ZAPI if the module supports ZAPI. An error may be issued if a REST option is not supported in ZAPI.

auto – will try to use the REST API if the module supports REST and modules options are supported. Reverts to ZAPI otherwise.

Default: "auto"

username

aliases: user

string

This can be a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped account, depending on whether a Cluster-level or SVM-level API is required.

For more information, please read the documentation https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/.

Two authentication methods are supported

  1. basic authentication, using username and password,

  2. SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file.

To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled.

validate_certs

boolean

If set to no, the SSL certificates will not be validated.

This should only set to False used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

Notes

Note

  • Supports check_mode.

  • Only supported with REST and requires ONTAP 9.8 or later.

  • The modules prefixed with na_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.

  • https is enabled by default and recommended. To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
