Notes

Note

  • SDK Method used are switch.Switch.create_network_switch_access_policy, switch.Switch.delete_network_switch_access_policy, switch.Switch.update_network_switch_access_policy,

  • Paths used are post /networks/{networkId}/switch/accessPolicies, delete /networks/{networkId}/switch/accessPolicies/{accessPolicyNumber}, put /networks/{networkId}/switch/accessPolicies/{accessPolicyNumber},

  • Does not support check_mode

  • The plugin runs on the control node and does not use any ansible connection plugins, but instead the embedded connection manager from Cisco DNAC SDK

  • The parameters starting with dnac_ are used by the Cisco DNAC Python SDK to establish the connection
