  • true

dnac_api_task_timeout

integer

Defines the timeout in seconds for API calls to retrieve task details. If the task details are not received within this period, the process will end, and a timeout notification will be logged.

Default: 1200

dnac_debug

boolean

Flag for Cisco DNA Center SDK to enable debugging.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

dnac_host

string / required

The Cisco DNA Center hostname.

dnac_log

boolean

Flag to enable/disable playbook execution logging.

When true and dnac_log_file_path is provided, - Create the log file at the execution location with the specified name.

When true and dnac_log_file_path is not provided, - Create the log file at the execution location with the name ‘dnac.log’.

When false, - Logging is disabled.

If the log file doesn’t exist, - It is created in append or write mode based on the “dnac_log_append” flag.

If the log file exists, - It is overwritten or appended based on the “dnac_log_append” flag.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

dnac_log_append

boolean

Determines the mode of the file. Set to True for ‘append’ mode. Set to False for ‘write’ mode.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

dnac_log_file_path

string

Governs logging. Logs are recorded if dnac_log is True.

If path is not specified, - When ‘dnac_log_append’ is True, ‘dnac.log’ is generated in the current Ansible directory; logs are appended. - When ‘dnac_log_append’ is False, ‘dnac.log’ is generated; logs are overwritten.

If path is specified, - When ‘dnac_log_append’ is True, the file opens in append mode. - When ‘dnac_log_append’ is False, the file opens in write (w) mode. - In shared file scenarios, without append mode, content is overwritten after each module execution. - For a shared log file, set append to False for the 1st module (to overwrite); for subsequent modules, set append to True.

Default: "dnac.log"

Notes

Note

  • SDK Methods used are sites.Sites.get_site, devices.Devices.get_network_device_by_ip, task.Task.get_task_by_id, sda.Sda.get_provisioned_wired_device, sda.Sda.re_provision_wired_device, sda.Sda.provision_wired_device, wireless.Wireless.provision

  • Paths used are get /dna/intent/api/v1/site get /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/ip-address/{ipAddress} get /dna/intent/api/v1/task/{taskId} get /dna/intent/api/v1/business/sda/provision-device put /dna/intent/api/v1/business/sda/provision-device post /dna/intent/api/v1/business/sda/provision-device post /dna/intent/api/v1/wireless/provision

  • 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
