The dnacenter-ansible project provides an Ansible collection for managing and automating your Cisco DNA Center environment. It consists of a set of modules and roles for performing tasks related to DNA Center.

This collection has been tested and supports Cisco DNA Center 2.1.1.

Note: This collection is not compatible with versions of Ansible before v2.8.

Ansible v2.9 or newer

Ansible must be installed

sudo pip install ansible

Install the collection

ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.dnac

First, define a hosts.yml file where you specify your DNA Center servers and their associated credentials:

dnac_servers:
  hosts:
    dnac_server:
      dnac_host: 10.10.10.10
      dnac_port: 443
      dnac_username: myuser
      dnac_password: mypass

Then, create a playbook myplaybook.yml referencing your hosts file and specifying the full namespace path to the module, plugin and/or role:

- hosts: dnac_servers
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
  - name: Create tag
    cisco.dnac.tag:
      state: present
      description: My Tag
      name: MyNewTag

Execute the playbook:

ansible-playbook -i hosts.yml myplaybook.yml

In the playbooks directory you can find more examples and use cases.
