aci_switch_leaf_selector – Bind leaf selectors to switch policy leaf profiles (infra:LeafS, infra:NodeBlk, infra:RsAccNodePGrep)

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

• Bind leaf selectors (with node block range and policy group) to switch policy leaf profiles on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
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. aliases: cert_name
description string		The description to assign to the leaf.
from integer		Start of Node Block range. aliases: node_blk_range_from, from_range, range_from
host string / required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
leaf string		Name of Leaf Selector. aliases: name, leaf_name, leaf_profile_leaf_name, leaf_selector_name
leaf_node_blk string		Name of Node Block range to be added to Leaf Selector of given Leaf Profile. aliases: leaf_node_blk_name, node_blk_name
leaf_node_blk_description string		The description to assign to the leaf_node_blk
leaf_profile string		Name of the Leaf Profile to which we add a Selector. aliases: leaf_profile_name
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.
policy_group string		Name of the Policy Group to be added to Leaf Selector of given Leaf Profile. aliases: name, policy_group_name
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.
to integer		Start of Node Block range. aliases: node_blk_range_to, to_range, range_to
use_proxy boolean	Choices: 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	Choices: no yes ←	If no, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.
username string	Default: "admin"	The username to use for authentication. aliases: user
validate_certs boolean	Choices: 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.

Notes

Note

• This module is to be used with aci_switch_policy_leaf_profile. One first creates a leaf profile (infra:NodeP) and then creates an associated selector (infra:LeafS),
