  note: A real, reservable SD-WAN Manager fabric on Cisco DevNet Sandbox. Free with a Cisco account; you
    reserve a slot and receive a live SD-WAN Manager with controllers and edge devices to call. This is
    the only way to exercise the API without owning a controller.

test_credentials:
  published: false
  note: Credentials are issued per reservation and are not published, so there are no static test values
    to record. No test-mode key prefix, no magic identifiers, no test clocks — the API is a controller
    API with a single live mode.
test_vs_live:
  modes: 1
  note: SD-WAN Manager has no test/live mode split. Every call hits the real controller.
api_client_collection:
  tool: Bruno

  docs: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/sdwan/bruno-collection/
  environments:
  - demo
  - sandbox
  note: The published API client collection is Bruno (.bru files), not Postman. Secret variables ship
    with no values; you supply vmanage + apikey. Run Authentication/01-get-auth-token first — it exchanges
    the API key for an XSRF token.
  coverage:
  - API-key authentication and device inventory
  - UX 2.0 system/transport/service/CLI feature profiles
  - Configuration Group creation, association, variables and deployment
  - real-time, simple, aggregate and bulk monitoring APIs
  - cleanup of created objects
