Notes
Note
SDK Method used are clients.Clients.retrieves_specific_client_information_matching_the_macaddress_v1, clients.Clients.retrieves_the_list_of_clients_while_also_offering_basic_filtering_and_sorting_capabilities_v1,
Paths used are get /dna/data/api/v1/clients, get /dna/data/api/v1/clients/{id},
It should be noted that this module is an alias of clients_v1_info
Supports
check_modeThe 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
