ACI: Creating EPGs Using the GUI

(This is from ACI Built in Help)

The port the EPG uses must belong to one of the VM Managers (VMM) or physical domains associated with the EPG.

1. On the menu bar, choose Tenants and the tenant where you want to create an EPG.
2. In the navigation pane, expand the folder for the tenant, the Application Profiles folder, and the folder for the application profile.
3. Right-click the Application EPG folder, and in the Create Application EPG dialog box, perform the following actions:
   1. In the Name field, add the EPG name (db).
   2. In the Bridge Domain field, choose the bridge domain from the drop-down list (bd1).
   3. Check the Associate to VM Domain Profiles check box. Click Next.
   4. In the Step 2 for Specify the VM Domains area, expand Associate VM Domain Profiles and from the drop-down list, choose the desired VMM domain.
   5. (Optional) In the Delimiter field, enter one of the following symbols: |, ~, !, @, ^, +, or =.
      If you do not enter a symbol, the system will use the default | delimiter in the VMware portgroup name.
   6. If you have Cisco AVS, from the Encap Mode drop-down list, choose an encapsulation mode.
      You can choose one of the following encap modes:

      • VXLAN—This overrides the domain's VLAN configuration, and the EPG will use VXLAN encapsulation. However, a fault will be triggered for the EPG if a multicast pool is not configured on the domain.
      • VLAN—This overrides the domain's VXLAN configuration, and the EPG will use VLAN encapsulation. However, a fault will be triggered for the EPG if a VLAN pool is not configured on the domain.
      • Auto—This causes the EPG to use the same encapsulation mode as the VMM domain. This is the default configuration.
   7. Click Update and then click FINISH.
4. In the Create Application Profile dialog box, create two more EPGs. The three EPGs should be db, app, and web in the same bridge domain and data center.
