Notes

Note

• SDK Method used are devices.Devices.add_device, devices.Devices.delete_device_by_id, devices.Devices.sync_devices,

• Paths used are post /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device, delete /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id}, put /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device,

• Removed ‘managementIpAddress’ options in v4.3.0.
