Usage Guidelines

An empty endpoint group has no network-policy, network-property, or port-property.

An endpoint group can be created with a port-property but without a port-group. But an endpoint group cannot be created with a port-group but without a port-property.

ARP suppression is enabled for all the possible broadcast domains, VLAN or BD, on the device.

CEP is handled by replicating all the tenant configuration on the MCT neighbor except for the endpoint configuration, because the endpoint does not exist on the MCT neighbor.

Event handling sets the corresponding tenant networks to the cfg-refreshed state. However, there is no way to re-push the refreshed configuration onto the devices.

The value of --single-homed-bfd-session-type is configured for one endpoint group and then propagated to all Ethernet and single-homed port channel interfaces defined for that endpoint group.

EFA does not distinguish between SRIOV (single-root input/output virtualization) and non-SRIOV connections. Therefore, it treats both connections the same way. If you want to use hardware-based BFD sessions for CEP non-SRIOV connections, then create an endpoint group that contains all the CEP non-SRIOV connections and set the --single-homed-bfd-session-type to hardware.

You use the --ip-mtu parameter to configure the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for the tenant network. This value is then configured on the interface VE on the SLX device. The output of the efa tenant epg show --detail command includes the configured --ip-mtu <mtu-value>.
