(default: false)- vendor_config_override (bool): indicates if the vendor config can be changed per port. (default: false)- vlan_override (bool): indicates if the vlan can be changed per port. (default: false)aliases: port_policy |
| block_all_ports boolean |

| description string | The description of the uplink portgroup. | |
| hostname string | The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_HOST will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. | |
| lacp dictionary | Default: {"mode": "passive", "status": "disabled"} | Dictionary which configures the LACP settings for the uplink portgroup. The options are only used if the LACP support mode is set to 'basic'. The following parameters are required: - status (str): Indicates if LACP is enabled. (default: disabled)- mode (str): The negotiating state of the uplinks/ports. (default: passive) |
| name string | The name of the uplink portgroup. The current name will be used if not specified. | |
| netflow_enabled boolean |
| Indicates if NetFlow is enabled on the uplink portgroup. |
| password string | The password of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PASSWORD will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. aliases: pass, pwd | |
| port integer added in 2.5 | Default: 443 | The port number of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PORT will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. |
| proxy_host string added in 2.9 | Address of a proxy that will receive all HTTPS requests and relay them. The format is a hostname or a IP. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PROXY_HOST will be used instead.This feature depends on a version of pyvmomi greater than v6.7.1.2018.12 | |

| switch string / required | The name of the Distributed Switch. aliases: dvswitch | |
| username string | The username of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_USER will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. aliases: admin, user | |
| validate_certs boolean |
| Allows connection when SSL certificates are not valid.
