Description

For the moment ansible modules exist to create 'tenant SPAN' in ACI. However we'd like also support for 'access SPAN' so that we can monitor traffic originating going through specific access ports in leaf nodes.

New or Affected Module(s):

Already existing modules for tenant SPAN

• aci_tenant_span_dst_group + span:DestGrp
• aci_tenant_span_src_group + span:SrcGrp
• aci_tenant_span_src_group_to_dst_group + span:SpanLbl

Proposed name for new modules:

• aci_access_span_dst_group + span:DestGrp
• aci_access_span_src_group + span:SrcGrp
• aci_access_span_src_group_to_dst_group + span:SpanLbl

APIC version and APIC Platform

• 4.2(7q) and on-prem

Collection versions

cisco.aci 2.2.0 (latest)

References

• #0000
