Access Spine Interface Profile

Spine Interface Profiles can either be auto-generated, one per spine, by providing a naming convention or can be defined explicitly. In case of auto-generated profiles the following placeholders can be used when defining the naming convention:

  • \\g<id>: gets replaced by the respective spine node ID
  • \\g<name>: gets replaced by the respective spine hostname
