Examples

Example 1: The YAML snippet below demonstrates the set_as_paths functionality, designed to append multiple Autonomous Systems (ASs) to the AS_PATH of a BGP prefix. This is a key feature for BGP AS Path manipulation. The set_as_paths alongside the asns are defined as list.

apic:
  tenants:
    - name: TN_01
      policies:
        set_rules:
          - name: SET_STG_STG_L_65002:10002
            community: regular:as2-nn2:65002:10002
            set_as_paths:
              - criteria: prepend
                asns:
                  - number: 65098
                    order: 1
                  - number: 65098
                    order: 2
                  - number: 65098
                    order: 3
              - criteria: prepend-last-as
                count: 8

Example 2: The YAML snippet below demonstrates the set_as_path functionality designed to address dynamic EPG classification. The external_endpoint_group is used to specify the external EPG to which the traffic would be classified.

  tenants:
    - name: TN_01
      policies:
        set_rules:
          - name: set-extEPG
            external_endpoint_group:
              name: default_extepg
              l3out: default
              tenant: common
