Possiblity of PcTag assoiciated with an EPG being 'any'

[pakshatha]

I need some help understanding if pcTag associated with an EPG can have the value "any"?  

I am using the API '/api/node/class/fvAEPg' to retrieve the EPG details. Can the pcTag value returned by this API have the value "any"? And if so, what kind of configuration

Hi @pakshatha 

First, a primer on pcTags.

pcTag is a numerical value within range 1 - 6553, with the following sub-ranges: 

• 1-15 = system internal range, used for very specific case. Example: 15 is used for l3out with 0.0.0.0/0 subnet in extEPG.
• 16-16385 = global range. It's unique across fabric and is used for example for interVRF communication.
• 16386-65535 = local range. The default scope of pcTag is local to VRF and may be reused across VRF’s
  

There is a special value of `pcTag` which is 0, which means `any`, but this is never assigned to an EPG. It refers to any EPG within VRF, and you will see it when you configure vzAny contracts. 

Now getting back to your question, you will not see `any` or `0` value for pcTag when you query fvAEPg class.  You will only see values between 16-65535.

Take care,
