Configuring Unicast RPF for IPv6
This section contains payload examples and CLIs to demonstrate how to use the NX-API REST API to configure Unicast RPF on Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches and to show how the REST APIs correspond to the CLI commands. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Security Configuration Guide, Release 7.x.
