Examples

Example-1: This configuration defines a spine interface policy group named IPN1, it sets the interface speed to 10G, enables CDP, and associates the group with the AAEP profile AAEP1 for consistent policy application on spine switch interfaces.

apic:
  access_policies:
    spine_interface_policy_groups:
      - name: IPN1
        link_level_policy: 10G
        cdp_policy: CDP-ENABLED
        aaep: AAEP1

Example-2: This configuration defines two Access Spine Interface Policy Groups. This group allows you to associate interface-level policies such as link level, CDP, LLDP, and attachable access entity profiles AAEP to spine interfaces.

The first group, named IPN1, assigns the following policies to spine interfaces:

link_level_policy: 10G: Sets the interface speed to 10 Gigabit.
cdp_policy: CDP-ENABLED: Enables Cisco Discovery Protocol on the interface.
aaep: AAEP1: Associates the interface with the Attachable Access Entity Profile named AAEP1.
lldp_policy: LLDP-ENABLED: Enables Link Layer Discovery Protocol.
description: Provides a human-readable description for the group.

The second group, SPINE-INT-GRP-01, is similar but uses a 25G link level policy, disables CDP, and uses a different AAEP.

These groups standardize interface settings for spine switches, making it easier to apply consistent policies across multiple interfaces.
