If your SDK, Terraform provider is older please consider updating it first.

Using the provider

There are two ways to get and use the provider.

1. Downloading & installing it from registry.terraform.io
2. Building it from source

From build (For test)

Clone this repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/cisco-en-programmability/terraform-provider-dnacenter

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/cisco-en-programmability/
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cisco-en-programmability/
$ git clone https://github.com/cisco-en-programmability/terraform-provider-dnacenter.git

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

! NOTE: It is important to check the architecture of your operating system in the file MakeFile

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cisco-en-programmability/terraform-provider-dnacenter
$ make developtest

If the Makefile values (HOSTNAME, NAMESPACE, NAME, VERSION) were not changed, then the following code could used without changes. Otherwise change the values accordingly.

To use this provider, copy and paste this code into your Terraform configuration. Then, run terraform init.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    dnacenter = {
      source = "cisco-en-programmability/dnacenter"
      version = "1.1.33-beta"
    }
  }
}

# Configure provider with your Cisco Catalyst Center SDK credentials
provider "dnacenter" {
  # Cisco Catalyst Center user name
  username = "admin"
  # it can be set using the environment variable DNAC_BASE_URL

  # Cisco Catalyst Center password
  password = "admin123"
  # it can be set using the environment variable DNAC_USERNAME

  # Cisco Catalyst Center base URL, FQDN or IP
  base_url = "https://172.168.196.2"
  # it can be set using the environment variable DNAC_PASSWORD

  # Boolean to enable debugging
  debug = "false"
  # it can be set using the environment variable DNAC_DEBUG

  # Boolean to enable or disable SSL certificate verification
  ssl_verify = "false"
  # it can be set using the environment variable DNAC_SSL_VERIFY
}

There are several examples of the use of the provider within the folder samples

Example for_each

locals {
 interfaces = {
   "1" = { description = "desc1", interface_uuid = "c6820b57-ecde-4b6d-98db-06ba10486809" },
   "2" = { description = "desc2", interface_uuid = "c6820b57-ecde-4b6d-98db-06ba10486801" },
   "3" = { description = "desc3", interface_uuid = "c6820b57-ecde-4b6d-98db-06ba10486802" }
 }
}

resource "dnacenter_interface_update" "example" {
  provider = dnacenter
  for_each = local.interfaces
  parameters {
    description    = each.value.description
    interface_uuid = each.value.interface_uuid
    vlan_id        = each.key
  }
}

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.15+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-dnacenter
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources.

$ make testacc
