Access Spine Interface Profile

Spine Interface Profiles can either be auto-generated (one per spine) by providing a naming convention, or can be system-generated (one per spine), 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

Examples

Auto-generated profiles:

apic:
  auto_generate_access_spine_switch_interface_profiles: true
  access_policies:
    spine_interface_profile_name: "SPINE\\g<id>"
  interface_policies:
    nodes:
      - id: 1001

System-generated profiles:

apic:
  new_interface_configuration: true
  interface_policies:
    nodes:
      - id: 1001

Explicitly configured profiles:

apic:
  access_policies:
    spine_interface_profiles:
      - name: SPINE1001
