Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.aci collection (version 2.1.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.aci.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.aci.aci_bd_subnet.

Notes

Note

  • The gateway parameter is the root key used to access the Subnet (not name), so the gateway is required when the state is absent or present.
  • The tenant and bd used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant module and cisco.aci.aci_bd can be used for these.
