createSiteEvpnTopology
While all the evpn_id / downlink_ips can be specified by hand, the easiest way is to call the build_vpn_topology API, allowing you to examine the diff, and update it yourself. You can also simply call it with overwrite=true which will apply the updates for you.
Notes:
- You can use
core/distribution/accessto create a CLOS topology - You can also use
core/distributionto form a 2-tier EVPN topology where ESI-Lag is configured distribution to connect to access switches - In a small/medium campus,
collapsed-corecan be used where core switches are the inter-connected to do EVPN
Preferred authentication method for automation and integrations. Send the API token in the HTTP Authorization header.
Format:
Authorization: Token {apitoken}
Notes:
- An API token generated for a specific admin has the same privileges as that admin
- An API token is automatically removed if it is not used for more than 90 days
- SSO admins cannot generate admin API tokens. Use organization API tokens when scoped Org/Site privileges are needed.
