Description

The documentation for the provider says to set the url parameter to the URL of the APIC. But it does not mention how to deal with redundant apics. We have three active and one cold apic. Larger installations might have even more apics. The provider works with any one of the three active so we selected the first. But if that apic is down the provider will fail, as it does not know the other apics.

Hi @bardahlm,

Currently we do not support this functionality, but I will add this to the todo items. Not sure when this will be prioritised.
