cdp_policy string / required		The CDP interface policy name. aliases: cdp_interface, name
certificate_name string		The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication.

description string		The description for the CDP interface policy name. aliases: descr
host string / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
output_level string	Choices: 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 string / 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 integer		Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter use_ssl.
private_key string / required		Either a PEM-formatted private key file or the private key content used for signature-based authentication. This value also influences the default certificate_name that is used. This option is mutual exclusive with password. If password is provided too, it will be ignored. aliases: cert_key
state string	Choices: absent present ← query	Use present or absent for adding or removing. Use query for listing an object or multiple objects.
timeout integer	Default: 30	The socket level timeout in seconds.
