To open the merge request page:

Step 2 - Merge the Request

On Merge Request details page:

  1. Click Merge
  2. Once code is merged, a new CD pipeline is triggered, click Pipeline

Step 3 - Wait till pipeline is finished

Step 4 - Verfiy on NDFC

In your browser, open another instance of the browser or another tab. Copy the url of Nexus Dashboard:

  • ND URL: https://10.15.0.98/appcenter/cisco/ndfc/ui/lan-fabric/fabrics
  • Username: admin
  • Password: cisco.123

Check fabric-prod

This time open the fabric page and check fabric-prod, NOT fabric-stage. Remember the CD pipeline pushes changes to the production fabric.

Open fabric page and open fabric-prod, and verify VRF and Networks are provisioned:
