Notes

Note

SDK Method used are switch.Switch.update_network_switch_dhcp_server_policy,
Paths used are put /networks/{networkId}/switch/dhcpServerPolicy,
Does not support check_mode
The plugin runs on the control node and does not use any ansible connection plugins, but instead the embedded connection manager
from Cisco Dashboard API Python(SDK)
The parameters starting with dnac_ are used by the Cisco DNAC Python SDK to establish the connection
