Question on using postman to configure a static vpc port binding

[jgesualdi]

I use postman in the following way to configure a static epg port binding, a vpc connection.

https://apic01/api/node/mo/uni/tn-tn_{{tenant}}/ap-ap_{{ap}}/epg-epg_{{epg}}_{{tenant}}.json

{
"fvRsPathAtt": {
"attributes": {
"encap": "vlan-{{epg}}",
"tDn": "topology/pod-1/protpaths-101-102/pathep-[fmdr-ucs-fi-a-p1-p2_PolGrp]",
"status": "created"
},
"children": []
}
}

This works but I need to run it twice for redundant devices. I was wondring if I could set two static ports binding in one post request.

Something that would look like this:

{
"fvRsPathAtt": {
"attributes": {
"encap": "vlan-{{epg}}",
"tDn": "topology/pod-1/protpaths-101-102/pathep-[fmdr-ucs-fi-A-p1-p2_PolGrp]",

"tDn": "topology/pod-1/protpaths-101-102/pathep-[fmdr-ucs-fi-B-p3-p4_PolGrp]",
"status": "created"
},
"children": []
}

This obviously doesn't work. 

Any suggestions?
}

Thanks.

Hi there,

Not sure about ACI, but from a programming perspective you have a datastrucutre with duplicate keys. Have you tried making the tDN key hold a list value:

{
  "fvRsPathAtt": {
    "attributes": {
      "encap": "vlan-{{epg}}",
      "tDn": ["topology/pod-1/protpaths-101-102/pathep-[fmdr-ucs-fi-A-p1-p2_PolGrp]",
        "topology/pod-1/protpaths-101-102/pathep-[fmdr-ucs-fi-B-p3-p4_PolGrp]"],
      "status": "created"
    },
    "children": []
  }
} 

cheers,

Seb.

Hi @jgesualdi,

I ran into something similar a while ago and used Postman Command or Collection Runner.

Hi @jgesualdi ,

Here it is...

https://apic01/api/node/mo/uni/tn-tn_{{tenant}}/ap-ap_{{ap}}.json

{
"fvAEPg": {
"attributes": {
"dn": "uni/tn-tn_{{tenant}}/ap-ap_{{ap}}/epg-epg_{{epg}}_{{tenant}}"
},
"children": [
{
"fvRsPathAtt": {
"attributes": {
"encap": "vlan-{{epg}}",
"tDn": "topology/pod-1/protpaths-101-102/pathep-[fmdr-ucs-fi-a-p1-p2_PolGrp]",
"status": "created"
}
}
},
{
"fvRsPathAtt": {
"attributes": {
"encap": "vlan-{{epg}}",
"tDn": "topology/pod-1/protpaths-101-102/pathep-[fmdr-ucs-fi-B-p3-p4_PolGrp]",

Hello @Remi-Astruc,

I have a similar question but it is not for APIC but  Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator API. Do you know by chance what’s wrong with my code?

Thank you in advance for your time.
