Either the hostname or IP address of the network device must be provided for performing port assignment or port channel operations. The specified IP address must match the management IP displayed in the inventory section of Cisco Catalyst Center. For example - “204.1.2.2” Note - If only the “ip_address” or “hostname” is provided in the “deleted” state, all port assignment(s) and port channel(s) configured for the specified fabric device will be deleted.
port_assignment_details list / elements=dictionary	A list containing configuration details for adding, updating, or deleting port assignment(s) in Cisco Catalyst Center. The “interface_name” and “connected_device_type” fields are required for add and update port assignment(s) operations. For the update port channel(s) operation, the parameters that can be updated include “data_vlan_name”, “voice_vlan_name”, “authentication_template_name” and “interface_description”. For delete port assignment(s) operation, the valid parameters are “interface_name,” “data_vlan_name,” and “voice_vlan_name”. If all three parameters are provided, only port assignments that match all specified criteria are deleted (i.e., AND filtering is applied).
authentication_template_name string / required	Specifies the authentication template applied to the port during the port assignment operation. The available options are “No Authentication”, “Open Authentication”, “Closed Authentication”, and “Low Impact”. The default “authentication_template_name” for all device types is “No Authentication”. For Connected Device Type “TRUNKING_DEVICE”, the “authentication_template_name” must be set to “No Authentication”. Security/scalable groups are only supported with the “No Authentication” profile. Choices: "No Authentication" "Open Authentication" "Closed Authentication" "Low Impact"
connected_device_type string	Specifies the type of access device that needs to be onboarded on the specified interface. Valid options for Connected Device Types are - “USER_DEVICE”, “ACCESS_POINT”, and “TRUNKING_DEVICE”. TRUNKING_DEVICE - Configures the interface as a trunk port. No additional parameters are required for this Connected Device Type. If the “authentication_template_name” is provided, it must be set to ‘No Authentication’ when configuring a “TRUNKING_DEVICE”. ACCESS_POINT - Configures the port for connecting an access point. The “data_vlan_name” parameter is required when configuring “ACCESS_POINT” devices in port assignments. Optionally, the “authentication_template_name” and “interface_description” can also be specified. USER_DEVICE - Configures the port to connect to a host device, such as an IP phone, computer, or laptop. At least one VLAN (“data_vlan_name” or “voice_vlan_name”) is required when configuring a “USER_DEVICE”. Optional parameters include “security_group_name”, “authentication_template_name”, and “interface_description”. Note - The “connected_device_type” cannot be updated from “TRUNK” to “EXTENDED_NODE” unless the protocol configured is PAGP. Choices: "TRUNKING_DEVICE" "ACCESS_POINT" "USER_DEVICE"
data_vlan_name string	Specifies the Data VLAN name or IP address pool to be assigned to the port. This parameter is required when the connected_device_type is set to ACCESS_POINT. At least one VLAN (“data_vlan_name” or “voice_vlan_name”) is required when configuring a “USER_DEVICE”.
interface_description string	A description of the port assignment interface.
interface_name string	Specifies the name of the port or interface on the fabric device where port assignment operations need to be performed. This parameter is required for adding or updating port assignments. For example - “GigabitEthernet2/1/1”
security_group_name string	Specifies the security or scalable group name for the port assignment. Security/scalable groups are only supported with the “No Authentication” profile.
voice_vlan_name string	Specifies the Voice VLAN name or IP address pool to be assigned to the port. At least one VLAN (“data_vlan_name” or “voice_vlan_name”) is required when configuring a “USER_DEVICE”.
port_channel_details list / elements=dictionary	A list containing configuration details for adding, updating, or deleting port channel(s) between a fabric edge and its remotely connected devices in Cisco Catalyst Center. The “interface_names” and “connected_device_type” fields are required for add and update port channel(s) operations. For the update port channel(s) operation, the parameters that can be updated include “connected_device_type” and “port_channel_description”. For delete port channel(s) operation, the valid parameters are “port_channel_name” and “connected_device_type”. If both parameters are provided, only port channels that match the specified criteria are deleted (i.e., AND filtering is applied).
connected_device_type string	Specifies the type of device connected to the port channel. Valid options are “TRUNK” or “EXTENDED_NODE”. To create a port channel between a fabric edge node and an extended node, or between two extended nodes, select “EXTENDED_NODE”. To create a port channel with a fabric edge node or extended node on one side, and a third-party device or server port on the other side, choose “TRUNK”. Choices: "TRUNK" "EXTENDED_NODE"
interface_names list / elements=string	A list of ports/interfaces of the target device in the SD-Access Fabric on which port channel needs to be configured. A maximum of 8 ports are supported in interface_names for “PAGP” and “ON” protocols. A maximum of 16 ports are supported in interface_names for the “LACP” protocol. Example - [“TwoGigabitEthernet2/0/1”, “TwoGigabitEthernet2/0/2”, “TwoGigabitEthernet2/0/3”]
port_channel_description string	A description of the port channel.
port_channel_name string	Specifies the name of an existing port channel in the SD-Access Fabric that needs to be deleted. This parameter is applicable only for delete port channel operations.
