New in version 2.4.


Synopsis

  • Config Rollbacks are done using snapshots aci_snapshot with the configImportP class.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

certificate_name

-

The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication.

It defaults to the private_key basename, without extension.


aliases: cert_name

compare_export_policy

-

The export policy that the compare_snapshot is associated to.

compare_snapshot

-

The name of the snapshot to compare with snapshot.

description

-

The description for the Import Policy.


aliases: descr

export_policy

- / required

The export policy that the snapshot is associated to.

fail_on_decrypt

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Determines if the APIC should fail the rollback if unable to decrypt secured data.

The APIC defaults to yes when unset.

host

- / required

IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host.


aliases: hostname

import_mode

-

  • atomic
  • best-effort

Determines how the import should be handled by the APIC.

The APIC defaults to atomic when unset.

import_policy

-

The name of the Import Policy to use for config rollback.

import_type

-

  • merge
  • replace

Determines how the current and snapshot configuration should be compared for replacement.

The APIC defaults to replace when unset.

output_level

-

  • debug
  • info
  • normal

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

password

- / required

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.

port

-

Port number to be used for REST connection.

The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`.

private_key

- / required

PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for signature-based authentication.

The name of the key (without extension) is used as the certificate name in ACI, unless certificate_name is specified.

This option is mutual exclusive with password. If password is provided too, it will be ignored.


aliases: cert_key

snapshot

- / required

The name of the snapshot to rollback to, or the base snapshot to use for comparison.

The aci_snapshot module can be used to query the list of available snapshots.

state

-

  • preview
  • rollback

Use preview for previewing the diff between two snapshots.

Use rollback for reverting the configuration to a previous snapshot.

timeout

integer

Default:

30

The socket level timeout in seconds.

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.

use_ssl

boolean

  • no
  • yes

If no, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.

username

-

Default:

"admin"

The username to use for authentication.


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.
