aci_encap_pool_range - Manage encap ranges assigned to pools (fvns:EncapBlk, fvns:VsanEncapBlk)

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

Manage vlan, vxlan, and vsan ranges that are assigned to pools on Cisco ACI fabrics.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
allocation_mode	Choices: dynamic inherit static	The method used for allocating encaps to resources. Only vlan and vsan support allocation modes. aliases: mode
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
description		Description for the pool range. aliases: descr
host required		IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
output_level	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 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.
pool		The name of the pool that the range should be assigned to. aliases: pool_name
pool_allocation_mode	Choices: dynamic static	The method used for allocating encaps to resources. Only vlan and vsan support allocation modes. aliases: pool_mode
pool_type required	Choices: vlan vxlan vsan	The encap type of `pool`. aliases: type
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
range_end		The end of encap range. aliases: end
range_name		The name to give to the encap range. aliases: name, range
range_start		The start of the encap range. aliases: start
state	Choices: absent present ← query	Use `present` or `absent` for adding or removing. Use `query` for listing an object or multiple objects.
timeout int	Default: 30	The socket level timeout in seconds.
use_proxy bool	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 bool	Choices: 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 bool	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

The pool must exist in order to add or delete a range.
More information about the internal APIC classes fvns:EncapBlk and fvns:VsanEncapBlk 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.
