Notes

.. note::
   - SDK Method used are devices.Devices.validates\_a\_network\_device,
   - Paths used are post /dna/intent/api/v1/networkDevices/validateDevice,
   - Does not support \ :literal:`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
