Access CLI Configs for APIC Server and Switches
You can control whether the system retrieves CLI configuration files for your APIC Server and Spine/Leaf Switches using two parameter in the Advanced settings of the API Server Manager.
Following are the two parameters:
-
Save APIC Config
- Default value is false - APIC Server CLI config is not retrieved.
- When the value changes to true, the system retrieves the CLI configuration for the APIC Server.
Note: Retrieving the APIC CLI configuration can take longer and may affect performance. Turn this on only if needed.Your information text here.
- Save Switch Config
- Default values is true - The system retrieves the CLI configuration for the Spine/Leaf Switches.
- When the value changes to false, the Spine/Leaf Switches CLI config is not retrieved.
