- Examples can be used with the UCS Platform Emulator https://communities.cisco.com/ucspe.

## Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- ucsmsdk

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
description - |  | A description of the LAN Connectivity Policy. Cisco recommends including information about where and when to use the policy. Enter up to 256 characters. You can use any characters or spaces except the following: ` (accent mark), (backslash), ^ (carat), " (double quote), = (equal sign), > (greater than), < (less than), or ' (single quote). aliases: descr
hostname string / required |  | IP address or hostname of Cisco UCS Manager.
iscsi_vnic_list - added in 2.8 |  | List of iSCSI vNICs used by the LAN Connectivity Policy.
| iscsi_adapter_policy - |  | The iSCSI adapter policy associated with this iSCSI vNIC.
| mac_address - | Default: "derived" | The MAC address associated with this iSCSI vNIC. If the MAC address is not set, Cisco UCS Manager uses a derived MAC address.
| name - / required |  | The name of the iSCSI vNIC.
| overlay_vnic - |  | The LAN vNIC associated with this iSCSI vNIC.

state
-

Choices:
- present ←
- absent

If `present`, will verify iscsi vnic is configured within policy. If `absent`, will verify iscsi vnic is absent from policy.

| vlan_name - | Default: "default" | The VLAN used for the iSCSI vNIC.
name - / required |  | The name of the LAN Connectivity Policy. This name can be between 1 and 16 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), "_" (underscore), : (colon), and . (period). You cannot change this name after the policy is created.
org_dn - | Default: "org-root" | Org dn (distinguished name)
password string / required |  | Password for Cisco UCS Manager authentication.
port integer |  | Port number to be used during connection (by default uses 443 for https and 80 for http connection).
proxy string |  | If use_proxy is no, specfies proxy to be used for connection. e.g. 'http://proxy.xy.z:8080'

state
-

Choices:
- present ←
- absent

If `present`, will verify LAN Connectivity Policies are present and will create if needed.
If `absent`, will verify LAN Connectivity Policies are absent and will delete if needed.

use_proxy
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes ←

If `no`, will not use the proxy as defined by system environment variable.

use_ssl
boolean

Choices:
- no
- yes ←

If `no`, an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection.

username string | Default: "admin" | Username for Cisco UCS Manager authentication.
vnic_list - added in 2.8 |  | List of vNICs used by the LAN Connectivity Policy. vNICs used by the LAN Connectivity Policy must be created from a vNIC template.
| adapter_policy - |  | The name of the Ethernet adapter policy. A user defined policy can be used, or one of the system defined policies.
| name - / required |  | The name of the vNIC.
| order - | Default: "unspecified" | String specifying the vNIC assignment order (e.g., '1', '2').

state
-

Choices:
- present ←
- absent

If `present`, will verify vnic is configured within policy. If `absent`, will verify vnic is absent from policy.

| vnic_template - / required |  | The name of the vNIC template.
