ACI endpoint classification into multiple EPG's possible ?

[jkeane101]

Dear all

I am looking at a migration into an Application Centric design. I have a number of VM's to migrate that have multiple processes exposing multiple IP addresses. 

Example are:

• Servers with multiple websites on different IP addresses
• Load balancers with multiple Vips

My question is:

Is there a way to have an endpoint with multiple IP addresses and a single MAC address be part of more than 1 EPG ?

John. I would prefer to have multiple of EPGs assigned based on different IP addresses. Logically it is very clear and still leveraging IP address as End Point Identity. Depends on your web hosting infrastructure and policy, we might consider enable Intra EPG isolation so no 2 EPs on the same EPG can communicate with each other.

Thanks for the reply. I agree with you that having multiple EPG's assigned based on one of the IP address of a single endpoint would be great. Just to confirm are you saying you don't think its  possible ?

John.

What we did here is for those appliances or hosts with multiple Interfaces / IPs, we will assign 1 EPG per 1 IP.

Unfortunately the VM I have only has a single Interface but multiple IP addresses. I cant see a way to have that VM in multiple EPG's. Do you think that is possible.

John. It is possible, we have VMs tagging multiple IPs and been assigned to different EPGs. Leo.
