An Ansible playbook is written to configure a VLAN on a Cisco IOS-XE device via Cisco DNA Center's intent API:
- name: Configure VLAN via DNA Center hosts: localhost gather_facts: no tasks: - name: Create VLAN 100 cisco.dnac.vlan: host: "{{ dnac_host }}"
username: "{{ dnac_username }}"password: "{{ dnac_password }}" validate_certs: no state: present vlan_name: "Engineering" vlan_id: 100 site_id: "{{ site_id }}" register: result
- debug: var=result
What is a potential issue with this playbook?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The 'site_id' parameter is mandatory for creating a VLAN in DNA Center; if missing, the task will fail.
The cisco.dnac.vlan module requires the 'site_id' parameter to associate the VLAN with a specific site. If the site_id is not provided or is incorrect, the task will fail or create the VLAN in the wrong location. Additionally, the playbook assumes the DNA Center credentials are correctly set.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The module name is incorrect; it should be cisco.dnac.network_vlan.
Why it's wrong here
The module cisco.dnac.vlan is valid for managing VLANs in DNA Center.
- ✗
The playbook does not include a task to obtain an authentication token, which is required by DNA Center API.
Why it's wrong here
The cisco.dnac collection modules handle authentication internally if host, username, and password are provided.
- ✓
The 'site_id' parameter is mandatory for creating a VLAN in DNA Center; if missing, the task will fail.
Why this is correct
Correct. DNA Center requires a site ID to associate the VLAN with a specific site. Without it, the API call will return an error.
- ✗
The 'state: present' is invalid; it should be 'state: create'.
Why it's wrong here
'state: present' is the correct parameter to ensure the VLAN exists. 'create' is not a valid state.
