Notes

Note

• SDK Method used are software_image_management_swim.SoftwareImageManagementSwim.import_software_image_via_url, software_image_management_swim.SoftwareImageManagementSwim.tag_as_golden_image, software_image_management_swim.SoftwareImageManagementSwim.trigger_software_image_distribution, software_image_management_swim.SoftwareImageManagementSwim.trigger_software_image_activation,

• Paths used are post /dna/intent/api/v1/image/importation/source/url, post /dna/intent/api/v1/image/importation/golden, post /dna/intent/api/v1/image/distribution, post /dna/intent/api/v1/image/activation/device,

• Does not support 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
