## Synopsis

- Manage physical, virtual, bridged, routed or FC domain 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
domain string |  | Name of the physical, virtual, bridged routed or FC domain profile. aliases: domain_name, domain_profile, name
domain_type string | Choices: fc l2dom l3dom phys vmm | The type of domain profile. `fc`: The FC domain profile is a policy pertaining to single FC Management domain `l2dom`: The external bridged domain profile is a policy for managing L2 bridged infrastructure bridged outside the fabric. `l3dom`: The external routed domain profile is a policy for managing L3 routed infrastructure outside the fabric. `phys`: The physical domain profile stores the physical resources and encap resources that should be used for EPGs associated with this domain. `vmm`: The VMM domain profile is a policy for grouping VM controllers with similar networking policy requirements. aliases: type
dscp string | Choices: AF11 AF12 AF13 AF21 AF22 AF23 AF31 AF32 AF33 AF41 AF42 AF43 CS0 CS1 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 CS6 CS7 EF VA unspecified | The target Differentiated Service (DSCP) value. The APIC defaults to `unspecified` when unset during creation. aliases: target
encap_mode string | Choices: unknown vlan vxlan | The layer 2 encapsulation protocol to use with the virtual switch.
host string / required |  | IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
multicast_address string |  | The multicast IP address to use for the virtual switch.
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.
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.
vm_provider string | Choices: cloudfoundry kubernetes 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.
vswitch string | Choices: avs default dvs unknown | The virtual switch to use for vmm domains. The APIC defaults to `default` when unset during creation.
