Adding a UDL to document overlapping VRFs on devices
- Request a token for authenticating API requests using GET v1/login
-
Create a JSON description for VRF UDL
Sample addLinkDefinitionJson
{ "linkType":"VRF", "displayName": "VRF", "sourceEntityTypes": ["Device"], "destinationEntityTypes": ["IP4Block"] }
- Create VRF UDL using POST v1/addUserDefinedLink with the VRF UDL JSON description for the addLinkDefinitionJson parameter
-
Link entities to the VRF UDL using PUT
v1/linkEntitiesEx with a linkEntitiesJson parameter containing
the entity IDs
Link a device to an address block: Enter the object ID of the device as the sourceEntityId, and the object ID of the address block as the destinationEntityId.Sample linkEntitiesJson
{ "linkType": "VRF", "sourceEntityId": "100903", "destinationEntityId": "100901" }

Use UDLs to navigate relationships in the Address Manager UI
- Browse the Details tab of a linked device or address block in the Address Manager UI. The User Defined Links module will now contain the VRF UDL, allowing easy navigation between addresses and networks.
- The VRF UDL can also be navigated from hovering over the UDL on the table view on the Devices tab
