cisco.nxos.nxos_acl_interfaces module – ACL interfaces resource module

Note

This module is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 5.3.0).

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.nxos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_acl_interfaces.

New in cisco.nxos 1.0.0

Synopsis

• Add and remove Access Control Lists on interfaces in NX-OS platform

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A list of interfaces to be configured with ACLs
access_groups list / elements=dictionary	List of address family indicators with ACLs to be configured on the interface
acls list / elements=dictionary	List of Access Control Lists for the interface
direction string / required	Direction to be applied for the ACL Choices: "in" "out"
name string / required	Name of the ACL to be added/removed
port boolean	Use ACL as port policy. Choices: false true
afi string / required	Address Family Indicator of the ACLs to be configured Choices: "ipv4" "ipv6"
name string / required	Name of the interface
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config | section ‘^interface’. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module’s argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state string	The state the configuration should be left in Choices: "deleted" "gathered" "merged" ← (default) "overridden" "rendered" "replaced" "parsed"

Notes

Note

• Tested against NX-OS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL

• Unsupported for Cisco MDS
