Examples

Example 1: Wireless Network Profile WIRELESS_PROFILE with fabric enabled SSID_1 attached and multiple sites assigned

catalyst_center:
  network_profiles:
    wireless:
      - name: WIRELESS_PROFILE
        ssid_details:
          - name: SSID_1
            enable_fabric: true
            enable_flex_connect: false
        sites:
          - Global/United States/Golden Hills Campus/Sunset Tower
          - Global/United States/Lakefront Tower/Windy City Plaza
          - Global/United States/Oceanfront Mansion/Art Deco Mansion
          - Global/United States/Desert Oasis Branch/Desert Oasis Tower

Example 2: Wireless Network Profile W_Cat9800-CL with fabric enabled 802_1X_SSID attached and one site assigned with additional interface Gi1/0/2 and ap zone AP_ZONE with rf profile BASIC_PROFILE_1 with ssid 802_1X_SSID

catalyst_center:
  network_profiles:
    wireless:
      - name: W_Cat9800-CL
        sites:
          - Global/Poland/Warsaw/Bld_B
        ssid_details:
          - name: 802_1X_SSID
            enable_fabric: true
        additional_interfaces:
          - Gi1/0/2
        ap_zones:
          - name: AP_ZONE
            rf_profile_name: BASIC_PROFILE_1
            ssids:
            - 802_1X_SSID

Example 3: Two distinct wireless network profiles demonstrating fabric vs non-fabric deployments: ENTERPRISE_FABRIC for SDA-enabled sites with fabric SSIDs, Wi-Fi profiles, and high-density zones, and ENTERPRISE_NON_FABRIC for traditional branch deployments with FlexConnect SSIDs, VLAN mappings, and standard RF configurations
