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: "https://intersight.com/api/v1"
description aliases: descr string	The user-defined description for the Link Aggregation Policy. Description can contain letters(a-z, A-Z), numbers(0-9), hyphen(-), period(.), colon(:), or an underscore(_).
lacp_rate string	Flag used to indicate whether LACP PDUs are to be sent ‘fast’, i.e., every 1 second. normal - LACP PDUs are sent every 30 seconds. fast - LACP PDUs are sent every 1 second. Choices: "normal" ← (default) "fast"
name string / required	The name assigned to the Link Aggregation 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, Policies, and Pools that are created within a Custom Organization are applicable only to devices in the same Organization. Default: "default"
state string	If present, will verify the resource is present and will create if needed. If absent, will verify the resource is absent and will delete if needed. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
suspend_individual boolean	Flag tells the switch whether to suspend the port if it didn’t receive LACP PDU. If enabled, the switch will suspend the port in the port channel if LACP PDUs are not received. Choices: false ← (default) true
tags list / elements=dictionary	List of tags in Key:<user-defined key> Value:<user-defined value> format.
use_proxy boolean	If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts. Choices: false true ← (default)
validate_certs boolean	Boolean control for verifying the api_uri TLS certificate Choices: false true ← (default)
