Examples

Example 1: Basic network settings configuration with essential services including timezone, DNS, DHCP, domain name, and NTP servers for centralized network infrastructure:

catalyst_center:
  network_settings:
    network:
      - name: BASIC_NETWORK_SETTINGS
        timezone: America/New_York
        dhcp_servers:
          - 192.168.1.10
          - 192.168.1.11
        dns_servers:
          - 8.8.8.8
          - 8.8.4.4
        domain_name: company.local
        ntp_servers:
          - 192.168.1.5
          - 192.168.1.6

Example 2: Enterprise network settings with comprehensive service configuration including custom banner message, multiple redundant servers, and European timezone settings for corporate infrastructure:

catalyst_center:
