DNAC

The following services are supported by the REST connector for DNAC.

connect

API to connect to the device.

The DNAC REST implementation supports specifying the port to connect to and allows to specify the username and password in the testbed YAML file.

# Example
# -------
#
#   pyATS testbed yaml example for defining a REST connection

testbed:
    name: myTestbed

devices:
    dnac:
        custom:
            abstraction:
                order: [os]
        connections:
            rest:
                # Rest connector class
                class: rest.connector.Rest
                ip: 1.2.3.4
                port: 8080
                verify: False
                credentials:
                    rest:
                        username: admin
                        password: admin

If no port is specified, the default of 443 is used. If verify is provided and is False, it wont verify the SSL certificate.
