bd

string

The name of the Bridge Domain.


aliases: bd_name

certificate_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.


aliases: cert_name

description

string

The description for the Subnet.

enable_vip

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Determines if the Subnet should be treated as a VIP; used when the BD is extended to multiple sites.

The APIC defaults to no when unset during creation.

gateway

host

string / required

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.

mask

integer

The subnet mask for the Subnet.

This is the number associated with CIDR notation.

For IPv4 addresses, accepted values range between 0 and 32.

For IPv6 addresses, accepted Values range between 0 and 128.


aliases: subnet_mask

name_alias

string

The alias for the current object. This relates to the nameAlias field in ACI.

nd_prefix_policy

string

The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Prefix Policy to associate with the Subnet.

output_level

string

Determines the scope of the Subnet.

The private option only allows communication with hosts in the same VRF.

The public option allows the Subnet to be advertised outside of the ACI Fabric, and allows communication with hosts in other VRFs.

The shared option limits communication to hosts in either the same VRF or the shared VRF.

The value is a list of options, private and public are mutually exclusive, but both can be used with shared.

The APIC defaults to private when unset during creation.

state

string

  • absent
  • present

  • query

Use present or absent for adding or removing.

Use query for listing an object or multiple objects.

subnet_control

string

  • nd_ra
  • no_gw
  • querier_ip
  • unspecified

Determines the Subnet's Control State.

The querier_ip option is used to treat the gateway_ip as an IGMP querier source IP.

The nd_ra option is used to treat the gateway_ip address as a Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement Prefix.

The no_gw option is used to remove default gateway functionality from the gateway address.

The APIC defaults to nd_ra when unset during creation.

subnet_name

string

The name of the Subnet.


aliases: name

tenant

string

The name of the Tenant.


aliases: tenant_name

timeout

integer

Default:

30

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ACI_TIMEOUT will be used instead.

use_proxy

boolean

  • no
  • yes

If no, 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.

aliases: user

validate_certs

boolean

  • no
  • yes

If no, SSL certificates will not be validated.

This should only set to no when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ACI_VALIDATE_CERTS will be used instead.



Notes

Note

  • The gateway parameter is the root key used to access the Subnet (not name), so the gateway is required when the state is absent or present.
  • The tenant and bd used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant module and cisco.aci.aci_bd can be used for these.
