Assign / Unassign Virtual Networks

You can assign (and unassign) multiple VXLAN virtual networks at the same time from the Apstra GUI (as of Apstra 4.1.2). (Prior to Apstra version 4.1.2 you could use the Apstra GUI to change one VN at a time or use a CLI-based script or API client to assign more than one VN at a time.)

Assign / Unassign One Virtual Network

When you create a virtual network, you assign it to one or more nodes. You can edit the VN to assign it to additional nodes and/or to unassign it from nodes that it's already assigned to.
  1. Either from the table view (Staged > Virtual > Virtual Networks) or the details view, click the Edit button for the virtual network to update.
  2. In the dialog that opens, scroll past the Virtual Network Parameters section to the Assigned To section:

    • Assign the VN to one or more nodes by selecting the applicable node check box(es).

    • Unassign the VN from one or more nodes by deselecting the applicable node check box(es).

  3. Click Update to stage the changes and return to the table view.

Assign / Unassign Multiple Virtual Networks

You can assign/unassign many virtual networks at the same time (as of Apstra version 4.1.2). This is especially useful when you've added a rack as a Day 2 operation and you need to assign a lot of virtual networks to it.
  1. From the table view (Staged > Virtual > Virtual Networks) select one or more check boxes for the VNs to update.
  2. Click the Assign selected VXLAN networks button that becomes available above the table (fourth of five buttons).
  3. In the dialog that opens, you can see the associated routing zone, VN type and VN ID by hovering over the VNs that are already assigned.
  4. Your selected VXLANs appear above the table on the left. The table shows the VNs that are already assigned to nodes in the network. Select the check boxes for one or more nodes. The Bulk assign VXLANs and Bulk unassign VXLANs buttons become available.
  5. Assign and unassign virtual networks, as needed:

    • To assign your selected VXLANs to the nodes you just selected, click the Bulk assign VXLANs button. The VNs to be assigned turn green.

    • To unassign your selected VXLANs that are already assigned to the nodes you just selected, click the Bulk unassign VXLANs button. The VNs to be unassigned turn red (as shown in the screenshot example above).

  6. Click Assign to stage your changes and return to the table view.
