python >= 3.9

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary / required	List of details of device being managed.
device_info list / elements=dictionary / required	Provides the device-specific information required for adding devices to the PnP database that are not already present. For adding a single device, the list should contain exactly one set of device information. If a site name is also provided, the device can be claimed immediately after being added. For bulk import, the list must contain information for more than one device. Bulk import is intended solely for adding devices; claiming must be performed with separate tasks or configurations.
hostname string	Defines the desired hostname for the PnP device after it has been claimed. The hostname can only be assigned or changed during the claim process, not during bulk or single device additions.
is_sudi_required boolean	Sudi Authentication requiremnet’s flag. Choices: `false` `true`
pid string	Pnp Device’s pid.
serial_number string	Pnp Device’s serial_number.
state string	Represents the onboarding state of the PnP device. Possible values are ‘Unclaimed’, ‘Claimed’, or ‘Provisioned’.
gateway string	Gateway IP address of the Wireless Controller for getting pinged
golden_image boolean	Is the image to be condifgured tagged as golden image Choices: `false` `true`
image_name string	Name of image to be configured on the device
ip_interface_name string	Specifies the interface name utilized for Plug and Play (PnP) by the Wireless Controller. Ensure this interface is pre-configured on the Controller prior to device claiming.
pnp_type string	Specifies the device type for the Plug and Play (PnP) device. - Options include ‘Default’, ‘CatalystWLC’, ‘AccessPoint’, or ‘StackSwitch’. - ‘Default’ is applicable to switches and routers. - ‘CatalystWLC’ should be selected for 9800 series wireless controllers. - ‘AccessPoint’ is used when claiming an access point. - ‘StackSwitch’ should be chosen for a group of switches that operate as a single switch, typically used in the access layer. Choices: `"Default"` ← (default) `"CatalystWLC"` `"AccessPoint"` `"StackSwitch"`
project_name string	Name of the project under which the template is present Default: `"Onboarding Configuration"`
rf_profile string	Radio Frequecy (RF) profile of the AP being claimed. RF Profiles allow you to tune groups of APs that share a common coverage zone together. They selectively change how Radio Resource Management will operate the APs within that coverage zone. HIGH RF profile allows you to use more power and allows to join AP with the client in an easier fashion. TYPICAL RF profile is a blend of moderate power and moderate visibility to the client. LOW RF profile allows you to consume lesser power and has least visibility to the client. Choices: `"HIGH"` `"LOW"` `"TYPICAL"`
site_name string	Name of the site for which device will be claimed.
static_ip string	Management IP address of the Wireless Controller
subnet_mask string	Subnet Mask of the Management IP address of the Wireless Controller
template_name string	Name of template to be configured on the device. Supported for EWLC from Cisco Catalyst Center release version 2.3.7.x onwards.
template_params dictionary	Parameter values for the parameterised templates. Each varibale has a value that needs to be passed as key-value pair in the dictionary. We can pass values as variable_name:variable_value. Supported for EWLC from Cisco Catalyst Center release version 2.3.7.x onwards.
vlan_id string	Vlan Id allocated for claimimg of Wireless Controller
config_verify boolean	Set to True to verify the Cisco Catalyst Center config after applying the playbook config. Choices: `false` ← (default) `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"`
dnac_log_level string	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: `"WARNING"`
dnac_password string	The Cisco DNA Center password to authenticate.
dnac_port string	The Cisco DNA Center port. Default: `"443"`
dnac_task_poll_interval integer	Specifies the interval in seconds between successive calls to the API to retrieve task details. Default: `2`
dnac_username aliases: user string	The Cisco DNA Center username to authenticate. Default: `"admin"`
dnac_verify boolean	Flag to enable or disable SSL certificate verification. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
dnac_version string	Informs the SDK which version of Cisco DNA Center to use. Default: `"2.2.3.3"`
state string	The state of Cisco Catalyst Center after module completion. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"deleted"`
validate_response_schema boolean	Flag for Cisco DNA Center SDK to enable the validation of request bodies against a JSON schema. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
