Introduction to ACIOps Contract
ACIOps contract feature allows you to search for contracts between endpoint groups by specifying the Source IP, destination IP and the port number.
First, you specify the source IP and the destination IP. ACIOps will search for all bridge domain subnets and the EPGs associated to those bridge domains.
The example output below all the EPGs where those IPs reside. If there are multiple EPGs in different VRFs with overlapping subnets, all of the EPGs will be displayed. The output below shows that 10.1.1.1 is present in multiple EPGs in different tenants.
The EPG output return could be limited by license restrictions.
You are now able to select which EPGs you would like to focus on to check if certain ports are open for communication. In the output below, I will be searching if Port 10 is opened for communication between EPG-1 in Tenant-1 and EPG-2 in Tenant-1.
The output below shows the result of the search. The output on the left shows the contracts that matches the specified search criteria, while the output on the right shows other contracts between the EPGs that was specified in the search.
When you view any of the contracts, you will get a detailed view into the contract as shown below. The details would include
the subjects, filters and filter-entries.
Additionally, you would get information about all the EPGs where the selected contract may be consumed or provided.
