DNA API Discovery

Hello,

I’m working with the “POST - Start discovery” API in DNA-C and I can’t figure out the value of one of the keys in the model.

My question to the community is, does anyone know the string/value that goes on ‘preferredMgmgIPMethod’?

I have tried:

'preferredMgmtIPMethod': 'loopback’,

'preferredMgmtIPMethod': 'loopback0’,

'preferredMgmtIPMethod': 'Loopback’,

'preferredMgmtIPMethod': 'Use Loopback’,

'preferredMgmtIPMethod': 'UseLoopback’,

'preferredMgmtIPMethod': 'Use_Loopback’,

I always get this error:

"progress": "Inventory service initiate discovery has failed.",

"endTime": 1612186503472,

"errorCode": "BadRequest",

"isError": true,

"failureReason": "Incorrect preferred management IP method",

If I set the value to ‘None’ the API works and the discovery process starts just fine.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Taking a shot in the dark here 'UseLoopBack' - note the capital 'B' Guessing here, based on a json file i have from a while back.

Hope this helps.
