Create a microsegmented endpoint group that inherits the provided and consumed contracts of a contract master endpoint group.

Before you begin

  • Configure the tenant and application profile for the endpoint groups (EPGs).

  • As required, configure the bridge domain for the uSeg EPG that will inherit the contracts.

  • Configure a uSeg EPG to serve as the contract master EPG.

  • Configure the contracts to inherit and associate them with the contract master EPG.

You can configure contract inheritance for a microsegmented EPG (uSeg EPG) in the Basic or Advanced mode of the APIC GUI.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigation pane, choose Tenants > tenant-name > Application Profiles > application-profile-name .

  2. Right-click uSeg EPGs, and then choose Create uSeg EPG.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the uSeg EPG that will inherit the contracts.

  4. From the Bridge Domain drop-down list, choose the common or default bridge domain, choose an existing bridge domain, or create a bridge domain for the uSeg EPG.

  5. For EPG Contract Master, click +, choose the application profile and uSeg EPG that will serve as the contract master, and then click Update.

  6. Click Finish.

    The uSeg EPG is created and inherits the contract associations of the contract master EPG.

  7. To view the inherited contracts, choose Tenants > tenant-name > Application Profiles > application-profile-name > uSeg EPGs > useg-epg-name > Contracts.
