In my previous blog post, I wrote about the changes in process when using Cisco DNA Center to on-board a network device. At the heart of the PnP process are two key concepts. One is the serial number of the device, which is used to identify it, the other is a template file which is applied to the device when it is on-boarded.
While this process is awesome for many use cases, what happens if you have configuration files generated off-box (somewhere other than Cisco DNA Center). Or, if you do not want to have to know about device serial numbers in advance for creating PnP rules?
While the UI cannot handle these two challenges, the flexibility of the API can, and this blog post will show you how. Here
