aci_epg_to_domain - Bind EPGs to Domains (fv:RsDomAtt)

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • Bind EPGs to Physical and Virtual Domains on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
allow_useg
    Choices:
  • encap

The APIC defaults to encap when unset during creation.
ap
Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs.

aliases: app_profile, app_profile_name
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
deploy_immediacy
    Choices:
  • immediate
  • lazy
Determines when the policy is pushed to hardware Policy CAM.
The APIC defaults to lazy when unset during creation.
domain
Name of the physical or virtual domain being associated with the EPG.

aliases: domain_name, domain_profile
domain_type
    Choices:
  • phys
  • vmm
Determines if the Domain is physical (phys) or virtual (vmm).

aliases: type
encap
    Choices:
  • range from 1 to 4096
The VLAN encapsulation for the EPG when binding a VMM Domain with static encap_mode.
This acts as the secondary encap when using useg.
encap_mode
    Choices:
  • auto
  • vlan
  • vxlan
The ecapsulataion method to be used.
The APIC defaults to auto when unset during creation.
epg

The APIC defaults to no when unset during creation.
output_level
    Choices:

  • 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`.
primary_encap
    Choices:
  • range from 1 to 4096
Determines the primary VLAN ID when using useg.
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
resolution_immediacy
    Choices:
  • immediate
  • lazy
  • pre-provision

  • query
Use present or absent for adding or removing.
Use query for listing an object or multiple objects.
tenant
Name of an existing tenant.

aliases: tenant_name
timeout
int
Default:
30
The socket level timeout in seconds.
use_proxy
bool
    Choices:

  • microsoft
  • openshift
  • openstack
  • redhat
  • vmware
The VM platform for VMM Domains.
Support for Kubernetes was added in ACI v3.0.
Support for CloudFoundry, OpenShift and Red Hat was added in ACI v3.1.

Notes

Note

  • The tenant, ap, epg, and domain used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The aci_tenant aci_ap, aci_epg aci_domain modules can be used for this.
  • OpenStack VMM domains must not be created using this module. The OpenStack VMM domain is created directly by the Cisco APIC Neutron plugin as part of the installation and configuration. This module can be used to query status of an OpenStack VMM domain.
  • More information about the internal APIC class fv:RsDomAtt from the APIC Management Information Model reference.
  • Please read the Cisco ACI Guide for more detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.
