Notes

Note

• SDK Method used are discovery.Discovery.get_all_global_credentials_v2, discovery.Discovery.start_discovery, task.Task.get_task_by_id, discovery.Discovery.get_discoveries_by_range, discovery.Discovery.get_discovered_network_devices_by_discovery_id’, discovery.Discovery.delete_discovery_by_id

• Paths used are get /dna/intent/api/v2/global-credential post /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery get /dna/intent/api/v1/task/{taskId} get /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery/{startIndex}/{recordsToReturn} get /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery/{id}/network-device delete /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery/{id}

• 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
