Parameters

Parameter	Comments
access_interface dictionary	The destination access interface. The access_interface and destination_epg cannot be configured simultaneously.
mtu integer	The MTU truncation size for the packets. The APIC defaults to 1518 when unset during creation.
node aliases: node_id integer / required	The node id part of the destination path.
path string / required	The interface part of the destination path. When path is of type port a interface like eth1/7 must be provided. When path is of type direct_port_channel the name of a policy group like test_PolGrp must be provided.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ACI_CERTIFICATE_NAME will be used instead.
description aliases: descr string	The description of the Access SPAN destination group.

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. 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
