Parameters
Parameter | Comments |
|---|---|
api_key_id string / required | Public API Key ID associated with the private key. If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_KEY_ID environment variable is used. |
api_private_key path / required | Filename (absolute path) or string of PEM formatted private key data to be used for Intersight API authentication. If a string is used, Ansible vault should be used to encrypt string data. Ex. ansible-vault encrypt_string --vault-id tme@/Users/dsoper/Documents/vault_password_file ‘-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- <your private key data> -----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----’ If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable is used. |
api_uri string | URI used to access the Intersight API. If not set, the value of the INTERSIGHT_API_URI environment variable is used. Default: |
classes list / elements=dictionary | List of QoS classes configured in the policy. System includes predefined classes (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Best Effort, FC). Best Effort and FC classes are always enabled and have restrictions on modifiable parameters. |
|
admin_state string |
Administrative state of the QoS class. Best Effort and FC classes are always enabled. Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum classes are disabled by default when not specified. If not specified, appropriate class defaults will be applied automatically. Choices:
|
|
cos integer |
Class of service received by the traffic tagged with this QoS. Valid range is 0-6. FC class defaults to 3. Bronze defaults to 1, Silver to 2, Gold to 4, Platinum to 5. If not specified, appropriate class defaults will be applied automatically. |
|
mtu integer |
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size packet or frame, that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network such as the Internet. Valid range is 1500-9216. Normal (default) maps to 1500, FC maps to 2240 FC class defaults to 2240, others default to 1500. If not specified, appropriate class defaults will be applied automatically. |
|
name string / required |
Name of the QoS class. Valid class names are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Best Effort, FC. Choices:
|
|
packet_drop boolean |
If enabled, this QoS class will allow packet drops within an acceptable limit. FC class defaults to false (no packet drop). All other classes default to true (packet drop enabled). If not specified, appropriate class defaults will be applied automatically. Choices:
|
|
weight integer |
The weight of the QoS Class controls the distribution of bandwidth between QoS Classes. Valid range is 0-10. Bronze defaults to 7, Silver to 8, Gold to 9, Platinum to 10, Best Effort and FC to 5. If not specified, appropriate class defaults will be applied automatically. |
description aliases: descr string | The user-defined description of the System QoS policy. Description can contain letters(a-z, A-Z), numbers(0-9), hyphen(-), period(.), colon(:), or an underscore(_). |
name string / required | The name assigned to the System QoS policy. The name must be between 1 and 62 alphanumeric characters, allowing special characters :-_. |
organization string | The name of the Organization this resource is assigned to. Profiles and Policies that are created within a Custom Organization are applicable only to devices in the same Organization. Default: |
state string | If If Choices:
|
tags list / elements=dictionary | List of tags in Key:<user-defined key> Value:<user-defined value> format. |
use_proxy boolean | If Choices:
|
validate_certs boolean | Boolean control for verifying the api_uri TLS certificate Choices:
|
