Share Resources Across Tenants using Shared Tenant

This topic offers examples of configuring shared tenant resources.

One tenant, with the role=shared attribute, owns the resources and entities that can be shared across all the other tenants, called non-Shared Tenant. The tenant service can have one Shared Tenant that services all the shared resources. The Shared Tenant owns the physical ports, Layer 2 and Layer 3 VNI number ranges, VLAN number ranges, and the VRF numbers. The Shared Tenant can create the endpoints and the VRFs, but not the endpoint groups.

A non-Shared Tenant cannot use the ports that the Shared Tenant owns if the ports are already part of an endpoint. A non-Shared Tenant cannot create an endpoint using the ports that the Shared Tenant owns.

Example: Shared Port use case (Layer 2 hand-off)

The following examples show the commands and syntax used to configure the Shared Port.

efa tenant create --name tenant1 --l2-vni-range 101-110 --vlan-range 101-110,201-210 
--port L-1[0/1]
