## Synopsis

- Bind leaf selectors (with node block range and policy group) to switch policy leaf 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
description string |  | The description to assign to the `leaf`.
from integer |  | Start of Node Block range. aliases: node_blk_range_from, from_range, range_from
host string / required |  | IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. aliases: hostname
leaf string |  | Name of Leaf Selector. aliases: name, leaf_name, leaf_profile_leaf_name, leaf_selector_name
leaf_node_blk string |  | Name of Node Block range to be added to Leaf Selector of given Leaf Profile. aliases: leaf_node_blk_name, node_blk_name
leaf_node_blk_description string |  | The description to assign to the `leaf_node_blk`
leaf_profile string |  | Name of the Leaf Profile to which we add a Selector. aliases: leaf_profile_name

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.
policy_group string |  | Name of the Policy Group to be added to Leaf Selector of given Leaf Profile. aliases: name, policy_group_name
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 integer |  | Start of Node Block range. aliases: node_blk_range_to, to_range, range_to

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

- This module is to be used with aci_switch_policy_leaf_profile. One first creates a leaf profile (infra:NodeP) and then creates an associated selector (infra:LeafS),
