## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---

fabric
-

Choices:
- common ←
- A
- B

The fabric configuration of the VLAN. This can be one of the following:
common - The VLAN applies to both fabrics and uses the same configuration parameters in both cases.
A — The VLAN only applies to fabric A.
B — The VLAN only applies to fabric B.
For upstream disjoint L2 networks, Cisco recommends that you choose common to create VLANs that apply to both fabrics.

hostname string / required |  | IP address or hostname of Cisco UCS Manager.

id
- / required

The unique string identifier assigned to the VLAN.
A VLAN ID can be between '1' and '3967', or between '4048' and '4093'.
You cannot create VLANs with IDs from 4030 to 4047. This range of VLAN IDs is reserved.
The VLAN IDs you specify must also be supported on the switch that you are using.
VLANs in the LAN cloud and FCoE VLANs in the SAN cloud must have different IDs.
Optional if state is absent.

multicast_policy - | Default: "" | The multicast policy associated with this VLAN. This option is only valid if the Sharing Type field is set to None or Primary.
name - / required |  | The name assigned to the VLAN. The VLAN name is case sensitive. This name can be between 1 and 32 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), "_" (underscore), : (colon), and . (period). You cannot change this name after the VLAN is created.

native
-

Choices:
- yes
- no ←

Designates the VLAN as a native VLAN.

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'

sharing
-

Choices:
- none ←
- primary

The Sharing Type field.
Whether this VLAN is subdivided into private or secondary VLANs. This can be one of the following:

isolated - This is a private VLAN associated with a primary VLAN. This VLAN is an Isolated VLAN.
community - This VLAN can communicate with other ports on the same community VLAN as well as the promiscuous port. This VLAN is a Community VLAN.
