Create a policy that includes or excludes service graph endpoint groups from a contract preferred group.

Before you begin

Configure a tenant.

An L4-L7 service EPG policy defines whether EPGs that a service graph creates are included in or excluded from a contract preferred group. Included EPGs can communicate with other included EPGs without contracts.

After you create the policy, you can select it when you apply a service graph template to EPGs.

Procedure

  1. On the menu bar, choose Tenants > tenant_name .

  2. In the Navigation pane, choose Policies > Protocol > L4-L7 Service EPG Policy.

  3. Right-click L4-L7 Service EPG Policy, and then choose Create L4-L7 Service EPG Policy.

    The Create L4-L7 Service EPG Policy dialog appears.

  4. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the policy.

  5. In the Description field, enter a description of the policy.

  6. In the Preferred Group Member field, choose whether to include or exclude the service EPGs from the contract preferred group.

  7. Click Submit.

    The policy appears in the Work pane. To edit the policy, double-click its row.
