Dependencies

This package requires a configuration file in either .yaml or yml format. The look up priority for the configuration file is as following-

  1. <user_home_directory>/.<package_name>/configs/config.yaml (Window/Linux/MacOS)

  2. <current_working_directory>/.<package_name>/configs/config.yaml (Windows/Linux/MacOS)

  3. /etc/<package_name>/configs/config.yaml (Linux/MacOS)

If config.yaml doesn’t exists in one of these locations, the program will NOT run. So, to create the configuration file, please use -

Windows

Windows system by default doesn’t allow creation of . prefixed directory from GUI, so use the following -

  • Open cmd and change the directory to the home folder of the user

  • Run mkdir .dnac_pnp

  • Run cd .dnac_pnp

  • Run mkdir configs

Now that the . prefixed directory is created, use the GUI to add a file in configs directory named config.yaml. Once the file is created, open the file and add the following lines according to your preference -

---
dnac:
  host: sandboxdnac.cisco.com
  username: <username>
  password: <secret_password>

Linux/MacOS

  • Open a terminal and cd into the home directory or any other directory form the above dependency list.

  • Run mkdir -p .dnac_pnp/{catalog, configs}

  • Run cd .dnac_pnp/configs/

  • Run nano config.yaml

  • Add the above lines into the file and save it

Bulk Import Dependency

While importing in bulk, a device catalog file can be put inside the catalog folder under .dnac_pnp with DeviceImport.csv name at the program will automatically read this file.

Windows

.dnac_pnp\catalog\DeviceImport.csv

Linux/MacOS

.dnac_pnp/catalog/DeviceImport.csv

Note

Samples files are available, in the data directory of this repo. The location of the catalog file can be provided with -f flag also
