aci_interface_policy_ospf – Manage OSPF interface policies (ospf:IfPol)

New in version 2.7.


Synopsis

  • Manage OSPF interface policies on Cisco ACI fabrics.

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

controls

list

  • advert-subnet
  • bfd
  • mtu-ignore
  • passive

The interface policy controls.

This is a list of one or more of the following controls:

advert-subnet -- Advertise IP subnet instead of a host mask in the router LSA.

bfd -- Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

mtu-ignore -- Disables MTU mismatch detection on an interface.

passive -- The interface does not participate in the OSPF protocol and will not establish adjacencies or send routing updates. However the interface is announced as part of the routing network.

cost

-

The OSPF cost of the interface.

The cost (also called metric) of an interface in OSPF is an indication of the overhead required to send packets across a certain interface. The cost of an interface is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of that interface. A higher bandwidth indicates a lower cost. There is more overhead (higher cost) and time delays involved in crossing a 56k serial line than crossing a 10M ethernet line. The formula used to calculate the cost is cost= 10000 0000/bandwith in bps For example, it will cost 10 EXP8/10 EXP7 = 10 to cross a 10M Ethernet line and will cost 10 EXP8/1544000 = 64 to cross a T1 line.

By default, the cost of an interface is calculated based on the bandwidth; you can force the cost of an interface with the ip ospf cost value interface subconfiguration mode command.

Accepted values range between 1 and 450.

The APIC defaults to 0 when unset during creation.

dead_interval

integer

The interval between hello packets from a neighbor before the router declares the neighbor as down.

This value must be the same for all networking devices on a specific network.

Specifying a smaller dead interval (seconds) will give faster detection of a neighbor being down and improve convergence, but might cause more routing instability.

Accepted values range between 1 and 65535.

The APIC defaults to 40 when unset during creation.

description

-

The description for the OSPF interface.


aliases: descr

hello_interval

integer

The interval between hello packets that OSPF sends on the interface.

Note that the smaller the hello interval, the faster topological changes will be detected, but more routing traffic will ensue.

This value must be the same for all routers and access servers on a specific network.

Accepted values range between 1 and 65535.

The APIC defaults to 10 when unset during creation.

host

- / required

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


aliases: hostname

network_type

-

  • bcast
  • p2p

The OSPF interface policy network type.

OSPF supports broadcast and point-to-point.

The APIC defaults to unspecified when unset during creation.

ospf

- / required

The OSPF interface policy name.

This name can be between 1 and 64 alphanumeric characters.

Note that you cannot change this name after the object has been saved.


aliases: ospf_interface, name

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`.

prefix_suppression

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Whether prefix suppressions is enabled or disabled.

The APIC defaults to inherit when unset during creation.

priority

integer

The priority for the OSPF interface profile.

Accepted values ranges between 0 and 255.

The APIC defaults to 1 when unset during creation.

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

retransmit_interval

integer

The interval between LSA retransmissions.

The retransmit interval occurs while the router is waiting for an acknowledgement from the neighbor router that it received the LSA.

If no acknowlegment is received at the end of the interval, then the LSA is resent.

Accepted values range between 1 and 65535.

The APIC defaults to 5 when unset during creation.

state

-

  • absent
  • present

  • query

Use present or absent for adding or removing.

Use query for listing an object or multiple objects.

tenant

- / required

The name of the Tenant the OSPF interface policy should belong to.


aliases: tenant_name

timeout

integer

Default:

30

The socket level timeout in seconds.

transmit_delay

integer

The delay time needed to send an LSA update packet.

OSPF increments the LSA age time by the transmit delay amount before transmitting the LSA update.

You should take into account the transmission and propagation delays for the interface when you set this value.

Accepted values range between 1 and 450.

The APIC defaults to 1 when unset during creation.

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.
