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.
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.
l3out aliases: l3out_name string	Name of an existing L3Out.
nexthop string	The nexthop for the prefix
node_id integer	Existing nodeId.
node_profile aliases: node_profile_name, logical_node string	Name of the node profile.
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 integer	Existing podId.
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.
prefix aliases: route string	The IP prefix
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"

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ACI_NO_VERIFICATION will be used instead. The default value is false. WARNING - This causes the current return value to be set to the proposed value. The current object including default values will be unverifiable in a single task. Choices: false true
