Drift and Reconcile (DRC), Idempotency for Standard and Extended Community-list Configuration

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 XCO.

If you create an entry for idempotency which already exists in XCO, the system shows an error message stating that entry already exists.
