Listing configID

jawicks — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 12:27:45 GMT

I create a new device under a given project via an API post to "/pnp-project/{projectId}/device" and I also need to specifiy the JSON format config-template which goes with that device for PnP.

The API documentation states that I should specifiy "configId (string, optional)" when creating the device but I cannot see where to query APIC to optain a valid "configId" which matches the JSON-config-template file I have pre-defined under "Network Plug and Play" --> "Configurations".

What do I need to query to list all the JSON-config-template files and their corresponding configID's ??

Thanks.

I'll admit this isn't very intuitive. But you can use the fileservice to get the file ID. Try:

GET https://apic-em/api/v1/file/namespace/config

There is a configId form /pnp-device

GET /pnp-device

....

configId (string, optional😞 Configuration file ID,

Brilliant, I think that looks like the right one (I'll just need to test that "id" works for my example), many thanks for the replies.
