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},

  • Supports 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
