nodes (apic.node_policies)

Name	Type	Constraint	Mandatory	Default Value
role	Choice	`leaf`, `spine`, `apic`	Yes
set_role	Boolean	`true`, `false`	No	`false`
serial_number	String	Regex: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_.:-]{1,16}$`	No
name	String	Regex: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_.:-]{1,64}$`	No
id	Integer	min: `1`, max: `4000`	Yes
pod	Integer	min: `0`, max: `255`	No	`1`
type	Choice	`tier-2-leaf`, `remote-leaf-wan`, `virtual`, `border-gateway`	No
remote_pool_id	Integer	min: `1`, max: `255`	No

Examples

Example-1: In the example below we create a node registration for a leaf and a spine switch. The spine switch uses the set_role option to define that it is a spine if hardware is a dual-role.

apic:
  node_policies:
    nodes:
      - id: 101
        pod: 1
        role: leaf
        serial_number: ABC1234567
        name: LEAF101
      - id: 1001
        pod: 1
        role: spine
        set_role: true  # For dual-role switches
        serial_number: ABC1234569
        name: SPINE1001

Example-2: In the example below we create a node registration for a remote leaf switch.

apic:
    nodes:

      - id: 3101
        pod: 1
        role: leaf
        type: remote-leaf-wan
        serial_number: ABC1234568
        name: RLEAF3101

Example-3: In the example below we create a node registration for a leaf that is supposed to work as a border gateway switch.

apic:
    nodes:
      - id: 401
        pod: 1
        role: leaf
        type: border-gateway
        serial_number: TEP-1-401
        name: leaf-401
