The table below captures the various attributes of the SNMP configuration interface for which DRC and idempotency is supported. A drift is identified if any of the fields below is modified through the SLX CLI or other management tool. A reconcile operation pushes the intended configuration to SLX, so keeping the SLX configuration in sync with EFA.
Regarding idempotency for creating an entry which already exists in EFA, an error message is returned stating that the user already exists.
