About this task

Note

Note

For MLX and SLX devices, the egresses are created internally when the egress group is created, and the egress group lists the ports or port-channels along with TVF or VLAN.

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 > Egresses > Add Egress.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name.
    The egress cannot have the same name as an egress group.
