Assign Connectivity Template Overview

You can assign connectivity templates that have an active Assign button. These include connectivity templates in the Ready or Assigned status. (Incomplete status means that more configuration is required.) You can use one of two methods to assign connectivity points:

Method 1- Select connectivity templates from the table view, and add application endpoints.
Method 2 - Click Application Endpoints, and assign connectivity templates to them.

Method 1

From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Connectivity Templates and click the Assign button (in the Actions section on the right) for the connectivity template to assign. (You can select multiple connectivity templates, to the left of the CT name, then click the Assign button that appears above the list.)
The available fabric application endpoints appears in a dialog.
Click boxes on the connectivity template column to assign the connectivity template to the application endpoint. The Tags column shows the tags that are applied to each available application point. You can click the Query dialog to search by tags or labels.
You can use "bulk actions" to select multiple "children" application endpoints.
Click Assign to complete the connectivity template assignments.
You can view application endpoints in Table view. From the table view, you can filter application endpoints by pod, rack, node, applied connectivity templates, or tags. You can also copy/paste connectivity template assignments from the table view.

Method 2

From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Connectivity Templates and click Application Endpoints.
You can click the + button to add a column for multiple connectivity templates.
You can then query and select the desired assignment combination of connectivity templates and application endpoints.
After a connectivity template is applied, its configuration may require additional resources in the blueprint. For example, if you're adding Layer 3 links to connect a generic system (such as an external router), you must assign Generic Link IPs.
You can view as a Table view. From the table view, you can filter application endpoints by pod, rack, node, applied connectivity templates, or tags. You can also copy/paste connectivity template assignments from the table view.

Force Assign VN Templates

When a virtual network (single) or virtual network (multiple) template is already assigned to a port and you want to assign a new VN template, you’ll receive a validation error indicating that the port already has a VN template assigned to it. As of Apstra version 4.0.1 you can force assign the new VN template, which automatically unassigns the existing VN template(s) and assigns the new one(s) on the selected port(s). You don’t need to manually unassign the existing VN template.

To force assign VN templates, from the CT assignment screen, click Remove all conflicts, then click Assign.
