The following table describes the various attributes of standard and extended community list for which DRC and idempotency is supported. A drift is identified if any of the fields below are modified by user through SLX CLI or other management tools. Reconcile operation pushes the intended configuration to SLX, so bringing the SLX configuration in sync with EFA.
If you create an entry for idempotency which already exists in EFA, the system shows an error message stating that entry already exists.
