python >= 3.9

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary / required	A list containing the details for network switch profile creation.
day_n_templates list / elements=string	List of Day-N template names assigned to the profile.
onboarding_templates list / elements=string	List of onboarding template names assigned to the profile. Note: Onboarding templates are currently unavailable due to SDK/API constraints.
profile_name string / required	Name of the switch profile to be created.
site_names list / elements=string	Site names must be specified in the full site hierarchy format for example 'Global/Country/City/Building'.
config_verify boolean	Set to `True` to enable configuration verification on Cisco Catalyst Center after applying the playbook configuration. This ensures that the system validates the configuration state after the change is applied. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`false` ← (default) :ansible-option-choices-entry:`true`
dnac_api_task_timeout integer	Defines the timeout in seconds for API calls to retrieve task details. If the task details are not received within this period, the process will end, and a timeout notification will be logged. Default: :ansible-option-default:`1200`
dnac_debug boolean	Indicates whether debugging is enabled in the Cisco Catalyst Center SDK. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`false` ← (default) :ansible-option-choices-entry:`true`
dnac_host string / required	The hostname of the Cisco Catalyst Center.
dnac_log boolean	Flag to enable/disable playbook execution logging. When true and dnac_log_file_path is provided, - Create the log file at the execution location with the specified name. When true and dnac_log_file_path is not provided, - Create the log file at the execution location with the name 'dnac.log'. When false, - Logging is disabled. If the log file doesn't exist, - It is created in append or write mode based on the "dnac_log_append" flag. If the log file exists, - It is overwritten or appended based on the "dnac_log_append" flag. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`false` ← (default) :ansible-option-choices-entry:`true`
dnac_log_append boolean	Determines the mode of the file. Set to True for 'append' mode. Set to False for 'write' mode. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry:`false` :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`true` ← (default)
dnac_log_file_path string	Governs logging. Logs are recorded if dnac_log is True. If path is not specified, - When 'dnac_log_append' is True, 'dnac.log' is generated in the current Ansible directory; logs are appended. - When 'dnac_log_append' is False, 'dnac.log' is generated; logs are overwritten. If path is specified, - When 'dnac_log_append' is True, the file opens in append mode. - When 'dnac_log_append' is False, the file opens in write (w) mode. - In shared file scenarios, without append mode, content is overwritten after each module execution. - For a shared log file, set append to False for the 1st module (to overwrite); for subsequent modules, set append to True. Default: :ansible-option-default:`"dnac.log"`
dnac_log_level string	Sets the threshold for log level. Messages with a level equal to or higher than this will be logged. Levels are listed in order of severity [CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG]. CRITICAL indicates serious errors halting the program. Displays only CRITICAL messages. ERROR indicates problems preventing a function. Displays ERROR and CRITICAL messages. WARNING indicates potential future issues. Displays WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL messages. INFO tracks normal operation. Displays INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL messages. DEBUG provides detailed diagnostic info. Displays all log messages. Default: :ansible-option-default:`"WARNING"`
dnac_password string	The password for authentication at the Cisco Catalyst Center.
dnac_port string	Specifies the port number associated with the Cisco Catalyst Center. Default: :ansible-option-default:`"443"`
dnac_task_poll_interval integer	Specifies the interval in seconds between successive calls to the API to retrieve task details. Default: :ansible-option-default:`2`
dnac_username aliases: user string	The username for authentication at the Cisco Catalyst Center. Default: :ansible-option-default:`"admin"`
dnac_verify boolean	Flag to enable or disable SSL certificate verification. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry:`false` :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`true` ← (default)
dnac_version string	Specifies the version of the Cisco Catalyst Center that the SDK should use. Default: :ansible-option-default:`"2.2.3.3"`
state string	Specifies the desired state for the configuration. If `merged`, the module will create or update the configuration, adding new settings or modifying existing ones. If `deleted`, it will remove the specified settings. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`"merged"` ← (default) :ansible-option-choices-entry:`"deleted"`
validate_response_schema boolean	Flag for Cisco Catalyst Center SDK to enable the validation of request bodies against a JSON schema. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry:`false` :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`true` ← (default)
