Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL

  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS

  • Default, where supported, restores params default value.

  • In case of state=absent the address-family configuration will be absent. Therefore the options route_target_both_auto_evpn and route_targets are ignored.
