There seems to be conflicting information in some of the documentation with respect to whether or not the Nexus 5000 series support configuration of object-groups.
Some blog/forum posts say it's only supported in the 7000 line and IOS. Some configuration guides make reference to object-group commands. Some command-references have an object-group section, others do not. Essentially, I've tried to rtfm - it's just that the manual is inconsistent. It's not listed in feature navigator, so I won't hold my breath...but I'm not 100% confident about the accuracy of feature navigator, given everything else.
That being said, would it be possible to get clarification on whether or not this platform does support object-group configuration for hosts/ports? If it doesn't currently, is there a plan to include this feature? Further, if it's not supported and there's no plan for it to be supported on the 5000 series, it might be wise to scrub all existing n5k documentation for object-group commands, so as to avoid future confusion for dummies like me.
We're planning to migrate some basic filtering and classification away from other equipment and onto a pair of N5672UP switches... I'd very much like to not have to write a million ACLs and ACEs (and re-write/re-number when things change!) :)
Thanks in advance for any replies!
