## Synopsis

- Bind static paths to EPGs on Cisco ACI fabrics.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
ap string |  | Name of an existing application network profile, that will contain the EPGs. aliases: app_profile, app_profile_name
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
deploy_immediacy string | Choices: immediate lazy | The Deployment Immediacy of Static EPG on PC, VPC or Interface. The APIC defaults to `lazy` when unset during creation.
description string added in 2.7 |  | Description for the static path to EPG binding. aliases: descr
encap_id integer |  | The encapsulation ID associating the `epg` with the interface path. This acts as the secondary `encap_id` when using micro-segmentation. Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between `1` and `4096`. aliases: vlan, vlan_id
epg string |  | The name of the end point group. aliases: epg_name
extpaths integer |  | The `extpaths` integer value part of the tDn. `extpaths` is only used if `interface_type` is `fex`. Usually something like `1011`.
host string / required |  | IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
interface string |  | The `interface` string value part of the tDn. Usually a policy group like `test-IntPolGrp` or an interface of the following format `1/7` depending on `interface_type`.
interface_mode string | Choices: 802.1p access native regular tagged trunk untagged | Determines how layer 2 tags will be read from and added to frames. Values `802.1p` and `native` are identical. Values `access` and `untagged` are identical. Values `regular`, `tagged` and `trunk` are identical. The APIC defaults to `trunk` when unset during creation. aliases: interface_mode_name, mode
interface_type string | Choices: fex port_channel switch_port ← vpc | The type of interface for the static EPG deployment.
leafs list |  | The switch ID(s) that the `interface` belongs to. When `interface_type` is `switch_port`, `port_channel`, or `fex`, then `leafs` is a string of the leaf ID. When `interface_type` is `vpc`, then `leafs` is a list with both leaf IDs. The `leafs` value is usually something like '101' or '101-102' depending on `connection_type`. aliases: leaves, nodes, paths, switches
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.
pod_id integer |  | The pod number part of the tDn. `pod_id` is usually an integer below `10`. aliases: pod, pod_number
port integer |  | Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter `use_ssl`.
primary_encap_id integer |  | Determines the primary encapsulation ID associating the `epg` with the interface path when using micro-segmentation. Accepted values are any valid encap ID for specified encap, currently ranges between `1` and `4096`. aliases: primary_vlan, primary_vlan_id
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.
tenant string |  | Name of an existing tenant. aliases: tenant_name
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.

## Notes

Note

- The `tenant`, `ap`, `epg` used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The aci_tenant, aci_ap, aci_epg modules can be used for this.
