Application Policy Infrastructure Controller REST API Configuration Procedures

Configuring Two Port Channels on Multiple Switches Using the Interface Configuration

This example uses the interface configuration (infraPortConfig) to create two port channels (PCs) on leaf switch 17, two PCs on leaf switch 18, and a fifth one on leaf switch 20. On leaf switch 17 and 18 the same interfaces will be part of the PC (interface 1/10 to 1/13 for port channel 1 and 1/20 to 1/23 for port channel 2). On leaf switch 20, interfaces 1/10 to 1/13 will be used.

Even though the PC configurations are the same, this example uses two different interface policy groups. Each interface policy group represents a PC on a switch. All interfaces associated with a given interface policy group are part of the same PCs.

You can use the interface configuration beginning in the 6.0(1) release.

Before you begin

  • The Cisco ACI fabric is installed, the Cisco APICs are online, and the Cisco APIC cluster is formed and healthy.
  • A Cisco APIC fabric administrator account is available that will enable creating the necessary fabric infrastructure configurations.
  • The target leaf switch and protocols are configured and available.

Procedure

Create the two PCs.
