cisco.nxos.nxos_acl_interfaces module – ACL interfaces resource module

Note

This module is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 9.2.1).

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

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

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
after dictionary	The resulting configuration model invocation. Returned: when changed Sample: "The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"
before dictionary	The configuration prior to the model invocation. Returned: always Sample: "The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Returned: always Sample: ["interface Ethernet1/2", "ipv6 traffic-filter ACL1v6 out", "ip port access-group PortACL in"]
