Add Links to Leaf

To add links to leaf devices using the GUI:
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select a node that can connect to a leaf. In our example, we've selected a generic system.
    Network management interface displaying physical topology with spine switches, leaf switches, servers, logical sections, filters, and uncommitted changes indicator.
    The Topology selection view appears.
  2. Select the node check box to see the operations available for that node (and that you have permissions for).
    Network topology interface showing tabs for navigation, rack and node selection fields, selected node switch3-server1 with menu options, a dashed connection to leaf3 via xe-0/0/2, and a yellow square indicating uncommitted changes.
    Note:

    You can also get to the selection page from the Nodes view. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Nodes, click the node name in the table, then click the node name that appears at the top of the Selection panel (on the right side of the page).
  3. Click Add links to leaf
    The Create Links dialog opens.
  4. Select the leaf to link to from the drop-down menu.
    Create Links interface with a highlighted Select Leaf dropdown, a red warning triangle, and an Add Link button, indicating incomplete form.
    The leaf ports and transformations appear.
  5. Select an available port and transformation.

    The gray Add Link button turns green.
  6. Click Add Link.
    The link is added to the link table.
  7. Click Create.
    User interface for creating network links in a tool. Highlighted new link between switch3-server1 and leaf3 on interface xe-0/0/3.

Network topology interface showing selected rack evpn_single_001 and node switch3-server1 Generic System. Neighbors tab highlights connections; switch3-server1 links to leaf3 via interfaces xe-0/0/2 and xe-0/0/3. Red arrow marks new link with uncommitted changes.

The new link is staged and you're returned to the Topology view.

When you're ready to activate your changes, commit them from the Uncommitted tab.
