Overview

This node updates a network resource by sending specified update parameters to an external API. It is useful in scenarios where you need to modify network configurations programmatically, such as updating policy associations or IP address attributes for a given network ID. For example, you might use this node to change the policies applied to a network or adjust its IP address settings dynamically within an automation workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the network to update.
Network JSON object containing the network update parameters. This includes fields like policy_ids (an array of policy IDs) and ip_addresses_attributes (an array of IP address attribute objects).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the network update API call. This typically includes confirmation of the updated network details or any error messages returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external DNS filtering service.
  • The node sends requests to the base URL: https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication token in n8n credentials is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing network ID can cause the update to fail.
    • Malformed JSON in the "Network" property may result in parsing errors.
    • Authentication failures if the API key credential is not set or invalid.
  • Error messages:
    • Errors related to authorization usually indicate problems with the API key; verify and update credentials.
    • Validation errors from the API may indicate incorrect or incomplete update parameters; ensure the JSON structure matches expected schema.
    • Network connectivity issues could prevent the request from reaching the API endpoint; check internet connection and firewall settings.
