Configuring HMM

The Host Mobility Manager (HMM) tracks end-host movement by discovering the end host and propagating the end-host reachability information to the other switches (leaf switches) in the fabric.

This section contains payload examples to demonstrate how to use the NX-API REST API to configure HMM on the Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches.

    }
  }
}

This example enables BGP EVPN control plane on the switch.

POST http://<IP_Address>/api/node/mo/sys.json

{
  "topSystem": {
    "children": [
      {
        "interfaceEntity": {
          "children": [
            {
              "sviIf": {
                "attributes": {
