NXOS Object Groups support to be implemented

[ghost]

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

nxos_acl

ANSIBLE VERSION

ansible 2.2.1.0

CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

SUMMARY

Some of Nexus gears (at least 7K and 9K) support policy-based ACLs (PBACLs), which allow you to apply access control policies across object groups (OG). An OG is a group of IP addresses or a group of TCP or UDP ports. When you create a rule, you specify the object groups rather than specifying IP addresses or ports.
Nexuses support that feature from the very beginning
It would be nice to have this feature to be implemented in Ansible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Along with OG support be implemented in the nxos_acl module it is probably needed to create a separate module to manage Object-Groups.

@IDQDD Thanks for the suggestion, this sounds like something that would make sense and be useful.

Marking as Milestone 2.4, so we track this, though this isn't a commitment that it will be included.

This isn't something the Network Team will implement, we look to the community for a PR for this.
