Hi Anoop,

Just follow the proc to deploy Bare-metal servers, with Physical Domain and then Interface configuration:

Then assign the EPGs to the physical ports prepared in the previous step:

Thanks Remi,

I am new to aci, i will appriciate if you will give me more simple solution for my requirement.

step by step procedure in plan English language.

Hello,

That is precisely a simple step by step procedure in English and even with screenshots.

An even more simple proc would require to know your switch IDs and design, VPC requirements, Interface IDs, Server network config, App/EPG information, etc... which is difficult here.
