Data Consistency

XCO ensures that SLX devices have the correct configuration before allowing traffic.

Overview

XCO is the data owner and Single Source of Truth (SSOT) for fabric configuration. The following figure describes how data is rendered consistent among XCO services.

North-bound applications invoke REST APIs to perform various operations on XCO. XCO ensures that the operations leave XCO and the fabric in a consistent state.

Limitations

You cannot use the SLX CLI to configure the entities that are managed by XCO.
XCO can reconcile only those entities or configurations that it manages.
XCO cannot modify out-of-band entities or configurations unless they conflict with the configurations that it manages.
