Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
---|---|
It represents a list of details for creating/managing/deleting sites, including areas, buildings, and floors. |
|
Contains details about the site being managed including areas, buildings and floors. |
|
Configuration details for creating or managing an area within a site. |
|
Name of the area to be created or managed (e.g., “Area1”). |
|
The full name of the parent under which the area will be created/managed/deleted (e.g., “Global/USA”). |
|
Configuration details required for creating or managing a building within a site. |
|
Physical address of the building that is to be created or managed. |
|
Geographical latitude coordinate of the building. For example, use 37.338 for a location in San Jose, California. Valid values range from -90.0 to +90.0 degrees. |
|
Geographical longitude coordinate of the building. For example, use -121.832 for a location in San Jose, California. Valid values range from -180.0 to +180.0 degrees. |
|
Name of the building (e.g., “Building1”). |
|
Hierarchical parent path of the building, indicating its location within the site (e.g., “Global/USA/San Francisco”). |
|
Configuration details required for creating or managing a floor within a site. |
|
Set to ‘true’ or ‘false’ to enable bulk operations for site creation and management. Choices:
|
|
Floor number within the building site (e.g., 5). This value can only be specified during the creation of the floor and cannot be modified afterward. |
|
Height of the floor in feet (e.g., 15.23). |
|
Length of the floor in feet (e.g., 100.11). |
|
Name of the floor (e.g., “Floor-1”). |
|
Hierarchical parent path of the floor, indicating its location within the site (e.g., “Global/USA/San Francisco/BGL_18”). |
|
The RF (Radio Frequency) model type for the floor, which is essential for simulating and optimizing wireless network coverage. Select from the following allowed values, which describe different environmental signal propagation characteristics. Type of floor (allowed values are ‘Cubes And Walled Offices’, ‘Drywall Office Only’, ‘Indoor High Ceiling’, ‘Outdoor Open Space’). Cubes And Walled Offices - This RF model typically represents indoor areas with cubicles or walled offices, where radio signals may experience attenuation due to walls and obstacles. Drywall Office Only - This RF model indicates an environment with drywall partitions, commonly found in office spaces, which may have moderate signal attenuation. Indoor High Ceiling - This RF model is suitable for indoor spaces with high ceilings, such as auditoriums or atriums, where signal propagation may differ due to the height of the ceiling. Outdoor Open Space - This RF model is used for outdoor areas with open spaces, where signal propagation is less obstructed and may follow different patterns compared to indoor environments. |
|
Width of the floor in feet (e.g., 100.22). |
|
Type of site to create/update/delete (eg area, building, floor). |
|
Set to true to verify the Cisco Catalyst Center config after applying the playbook config. Choices:
|
|
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: |
|
Indicates whether debugging is enabled in the Cisco Catalyst Center SDK. Choices:
|
|
The hostname of the Cisco Catalyst Center. |
|
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:
|
|
Determines the mode of the file. Set to True for ‘append’ mode. Set to False for ‘write’ mode. Choices:
|
|
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: |
|
Sets the threshold for log level. Messages with a level equal to or higher than this will be logged. Levels are listed in order of severity [CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG]. CRITICAL indicates serious errors halting the program. Displays only CRITICAL messages. ERROR indicates problems preventing a function. Displays ERROR and CRITICAL messages. WARNING indicates potential future issues. Displays WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL messages. INFO tracks normal operation. Displays INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL messages. DEBUG provides detailed diagnostic info. Displays all log messages. Default: |
|
The password for authentication at the Cisco Catalyst Center. |
|
Specifies the port number associated with the Cisco Catalyst Center. Default: |
|
Specifies the interval in seconds between successive calls to the API to retrieve task details. Default: |
|
The username for authentication at the Cisco Catalyst Center. Default: |
|
Flag to enable or disable SSL certificate verification. Choices:
|
|
Specifies the version of the Cisco Catalyst Center that the SDK should use. Default: |
|
The state of Catalyst Center after module completion. Choices:
|
|
Flag for Cisco Catalyst Center SDK to enable the validation of request bodies against a JSON schema. Choices:
|
