## Synopsis

- Manage port blocks of Fabric interface policy leaf profile interface selectors on Cisco ACI fabrics.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
access_port_selector string / required |  | The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile access port selector. aliases: name, access_port_selector_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
from_card string |  | The beginning (from-range) of the card range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: from_card_range
from_port string / required |  | The beginning (from-range) of the port range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: from, fromPort, from_port_range
host string / required |  | IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
leaf_interface_profile string / required |  | The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile. aliases: leaf_interface_profile_name
leaf_port_blk string / required |  | The name of the Fabric access policy leaf interface profile access port block. aliases: leaf_port_blk_name
leaf_port_blk_description - |  | The description to assign to the `leaf_port_blk`.
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.
to_card string |  | The end (to-range) of the card range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: to_card_range
to_port string / required |  | The end (to-range) of the port range block for the leaf access port block. aliases: to, toPort, to_port_range
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.
