Examples

Example 1: In this first example we created an MCP policy to enable MCP onto an interface. For the policy to take affect MCP needs to be enabled globally first. The global MCP policy is defined in the apic.access_policies.mcp object in the data model.

apic:
  access_policies:
    interface_policies:
      mcp_policies:
        - name: mcpEnabled
          admin_state: true

Example 2: In this first example we created an MCP policy to disable MCP onto an interface. For the policy to take affect MCP needs to be enabled globally first. The global MCP policy is defined in the apic.access_policies.mcp object in the data model.

apic:
  access_policies:
    interface_policies:
      mcp_policies:
        - name: mcpDisabled
          admin_state: false

Example 3: MCP per-VLAN mode with a non-default VLAN limit. Set per_vlan_mcp to enable or disable per-VLAN MCP on the interface; max_vlans is honored only when per_vlan_mcp is true.

apic:
  access_policies:
    interface_policies:
      mcp_policies:
        - name: mcpPerVlan
          admin_state: true
          per_vlan_mcp: true
          max_vlans: 512

Example 4: MCP strict mode with per-VLAN MCP, a VLAN limit, and explicit grace-period and strict-transmit timers. Set strict_mode to enable or disable strict MCP; timer attributes are deployed only when strict_mode is true.

apic:
  access_policies:
    interface_policies:
      mcp_policies:
        - name: mcpStrict
          admin_state: true
          per_vlan_mcp: true
          max_vlans: 128
          strict_mode: true
          grace_period: 5
          grace_period_msec: 500
          initial_delay: 180
          frequency_sec: 2
          frequency_msec: 0
