Drift and Reconcile (DRC) and Idempotency for IP Prefix List Configuration
The following table captures the various attributes of IP prefix list for which DRC and
idempotency is supported.
- A drift is identified if any of the fields are modified through SLX, CLI or other management tools.
- A reconcile operation pushes the intended configuration to SLX, so bringing the SLX configuration in sync with EFA.
| Field | Identify Drift | Reconcile config | Idempotency | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPv4 prefix list rule is deleted. | Yes | Yes | No | Deleted rule will be reconciled. |
| IPv4 prefix list is deleted. | Yes | Yes | No | Deleted prefix list along with all rules associated with it will be reconciled. |
| IPv4 prefix list rule created OOB. Different rules exist with same prefix list name in EFA. | No | No | NA | |
| IPv4 prefix-list rule created OOB. Different rules exist with same prefix-list name and same sequence number in EFA. | Yes | Yes | NA | Prefix list rule will be reconciled to be in sync with EFA. |
| Create a IPv4 prefix list OOB with a prefix list name not matching any of EFA created entries. | No | No | NA | These are treated as out of band entries and EFA will not perform DRC. |
