Overview

This node allows users to create MAC address entries by sending a JSON-formatted request with the necessary parameters. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically add or register MAC addresses into a system that manages network devices, access control, or inventory tracking. For example, you might use this node to automate the onboarding of new devices by creating their MAC address records in bulk.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mac Address JSON object containing the parameters required to create a MAC address entry. The user must provide this as a JSON string representing the creation request payload.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the MAC address creation API. This typically includes details about the newly created MAC address record such as its ID, status, and any metadata returned by the service. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing MAC addresses.
  • The node uses a base URL https://api.dnsfilter.com indicating it interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API or a related service.
  • The node depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) to build its properties and handle requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Mac Address property: Since the MAC address creation parameters must be provided as a JSON string, malformed JSON will cause errors. Ensure the input is valid JSON.
  • Authentication errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent successful requests. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • API endpoint issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL configuration can cause failures. Confirm connectivity to https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API changes or returns errors, check the response message for clues and update the node configuration accordingly.
