Examples

Example-1: This example configures a basic AAEP1 which is associated to a physical domain named PHY1.

apic:
  access_policies:
    aaeps:
      - name: AAEP1
        physical_domains:
          - PHY1

Example-2: This example configures an AAEP AAEP1 which is associated to multiple domains of multiple types: PHY1 physical domain, ROUTED1 routed domain, and VMM1 VMware VMM domain.

apic:
  access_policies:
    aaeps:
      - name: AAEP1
        infra_vlan: true
        physical_domains:
          - PHY1
        routed_domains:
          - ROUTED1
        vmware_vmm_domains:
          - VMM1

Examlpe-3: this examlpe configures an AAEP SCVMM with the infra_vlan parameter enabled, which enables the extension of the ACI infra VLAN into external domains such as Microsoft SCVMM or other OpFlex-capable solutions. This is required in such integrations to enable the extension of the ACI infra into a non-ACI infra. The relevant domains must be associated to the AAEP to enable the integration, in this case SCVMM physical domain. It is recommended use a dedicated AAEP for such integrations, hence the PHY1 physical domain being associated to another AAEP with the infra_vlan parameter left unspecified, since its default is false.

apic:
  access_policies:
    infra_vlan: 10
    aaeps:
      - name: AAEP1
        physical_domains:
          - PHY1
      - name: SCVMM
        infra_vlan: true
        physical_domains:
          - SCVMM

Example-4: this is a full example demonstrating AAEP1 being associated with PHY1 physical domain, ROUTED1 routed domain, and VMM1 VMware VMM domain. It also utilizes the AAEP-to-EPG association feature to bulk-configure inerfaces with a given VLAN. In this case, it shows the EPG1 EPG under the AP1 app profile under the ABC tenant, using VLAN 1234 in untagged (access) mode.
