Hello Lyle,
An Interface Group on a DPN would also have have attributes for Peer
Interface Groups residing on other DPNs. So, the data plane
configuration can already exhibit the ("cross-DPN") interconnection
between Interface Groups even if the interfaces of the Group all reside
on the same DPN.
Could you give an example of an Interface Group that perforce requires
to reside on multiple DPNs? Is it a case that could be handled better
by defining a virtual DPN to host the Interface Group? I understand the
word "containment" but I'm not at all clear about what sort of Group
requires the extra complication to expedite the stated purpose, which is
DPN selection. If there are other purposes, I would be inclined to
define other structures for them that do not have the effect of
complicating the Interface Group definition.
Regards,
Charlie P.

No, I don’t think they should reside under a DPN. Groups like these
also span multiple DPNs which would make containment graphs far too
confusing.

*Subject:* Question about Interface Groups
Hello folks,
Can we have it so that all the Interfaces of an "Interface Group"
(formerly, "DPN Group") reside on the same DPN?
If so, I can make good sense out of the text in the document, but
otherwise I think there are big problems.
I have some other questions, but this is the main thing right now. If
the answer to my question is "Yes" I think I will have a sensible
revision tomorrow.
I have some more questions, not quite as important, which I will put
in separate emails.
Regards,
Charlie P.
