python >= 3.9.6

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
ca_path path added in dellemc.openmanage 5.0.0	The Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file that contains a CA certificate to be used for the validation.
description string	Provide a short description for the uplink to be created or modified.
fabric_name string / required	Provide the fabric_name of the fabric for which the uplink is to be configured.
hostname string / required	OpenManage Enterprise Modular IP address or hostname.
name string / required	Provide the name of the uplink to be created, modified or deleted.
new_name string	Provide the new new_name for the uplink.
password string	OpenManage Enterprise Modular password. If the password is not provided, then the environment variable `OME_PASSWORD` is used. Example: export OME_PASSWORD=password
port integer	OpenManage Enterprise Modular HTTPS port. Default: `443`
primary_switch_ports list / elements=string	The IOM slots to be connected to the primary switch. primary_switch_service_tag is mandatory for this option.
primary_switch_service_tag string	Service tag of the primary switch.
secondary_switch_ports list / elements=string	The IOM slots to be connected to the secondary switch. secondary_switch_service_tag is mandatory for this option.
secondary_switch_service_tag string	Service tag of the secondary switch.
state string	`present` - Creates a new uplink with the provided name. - Modifies an existing uplink with the provided name. `absent` – Deletes the uplink with the provided name. WARNING Delete operation can impact the network infrastructure. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
tagged_networks list / elements=string	VLANs to be associated with the uplink name.
timeout integer added in dellemc.openmanage 5.0.0	The socket level timeout in seconds. Default: `30`
ufd_enable string	Add or Remove the uplink to the Uplink Failure Detection (UFD) group. The UFD group identifies the loss of connectivity to the upstream switch and notifies the servers that are connected to the switch. During an uplink failure, the switch disables the corresponding downstream server ports. The downstream servers can then select alternate connectivity routes, if available. WARNING The firmware version of the I/O Module running the Fabric Manager must support this configuration feature. If not, uplink creation will be successful with an appropriate error message in response. Choices: `"Enabled"` `"Disabled"`
untagged_network string	Specify the name of the VLAN to be added as untagged to the uplink.
uplink_type string	Specify the uplink type. NOTE The uplink type cannot be changed for an existing uplink. Choices: `"Ethernet"` `"FCoE"` `"FC Gateway"` `"FC Direct Attach"` `"Ethernet - No Spanning Tree"`
username string	OpenManage Enterprise Modular username. If the username is not provided, then the environment variable `OME_USERNAME` is used. Example: export OME_USERNAME=username
validate_certs boolean added in dellemc.openmanage 5.0.0	If `false`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. Configure `false` only on personally controlled sites where self-signed certificates are used. Prior to collection version `5.0.0`, the validate_certs is `false` by default. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
x_auth_token string added in dellemc.openmanage 9.3.0	Authentication token. If the x_auth_token is not provided, then the environment variable `OME_X_AUTH_TOKEN` is used. Example: export OME_X_AUTH_TOKEN=x_auth_token
