Create an Egress Group

An egress group is a set of egresses (9920) or a set of interfaces or port-channels (SLX/MLX).

Before you begin

Create the egress (9920) or port-channels (SLX/MLX) to associate with the egress group. For more information, see Create an Egress for Devices and Create a Port Channel.

About this task

When you create an egress group, you assign a name and associate at least one egress (9920) or port/port channel (SLX/MLX). An egress associates an egress port (or port channel) with an egress policy for 9920.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigation menu, select Device Inventory.
  2. In the Devices page, click anywhere in the required device row except the Actions column (Actions column icon) to proceed to the device Overview page.
  3. In the Device Config menu, select Policies and Configuration > Egress Groups > Add Egress Group.
  4. To create an egress group for SLX and MLX devices, take the following steps.
    1. In the nHop Type field, select the next hop domain type: TVF (transparent VLAN flooding) or VLAN (MLX only).
    2. In the nHop Value field, provide the VLAN ID (MLX only) or TVF ID.
      The valid value ranges for VLAN and TVF are as follows:
      • MLX: VLAN is 1-4090 and TVF is 1-2016
      • SLX: TVF is 1-4095
    3. Select the required Ports/PortChannels.
    4. Select Create.
  5. To create an egress group for 9920 devices, take the following steps.
    1. In the Name field, enter a name for the group.
      An egress group cannot have the same name as an egress.
    2. In the Egress List field, select at least one egress to associate with the group.
    3. Optional: Select Create Egress to create an egress to associate with the egress group, if required.
      For more information, see Create an Egress for Devices.
    4. Select Create.
