Figure 12: APIC rendering service graph to deploy application prole
Figure 13 shows a service graph template with an A10 Thunder ADC device between the consumer EPG and
provider EPG. The web EPG is the consumer EPG in this case, and the application EPG is the provider EPG. The A10
Thunder ADC device provides server load balancing or application delivery controller services in this context.
Figure 13: Service graph instance example
Cisco APIC configures the A10 Thunder ADC device once the service graph is applied to the security contract
and also configures the data forwarding path. The A10 device to which the APIC pushes the configuration is
selected through the L4-L7 device selection policy.
The service graph template shown in Figure 12 can be configured on the APIC in multiple ways as mentioned
earlier in this document. The preferred method of configuring service graphs on the APIC is through XML
payloads sent to the APIC using REST API calls.
