Note

SDK Method used are organizationsnetworks.Organizationsnetworks.create_organization_network, organizationsnetworks.Organizationsnetworks.delete_network, organizationsnetworks.Organizationsnetworks.update_network,
Paths used are post /organizations/{organizationId}/networks, delete /networks/{networkId}, put /networks/{networkId},
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
