Add Test Case Parameters

Now that you've successfully created a Topology file, you'll add parameters to the test cases in your project to run in your specific ACI environment. Well-written test case job files will not hard-code values. Instead, they will use parameters and Topology files to run in different environments.

Step 1 - Add the parameters for Verify External Routes Learned on Border Leafs

From your project's Test Cases page:

1. Locate the test case Verify External Routes Learned on Border Leafs that has identifier 01.02
2. For this test case's row, click on the Yes link under the Job File? column




3. Click on the pencil icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Job File Preview pane to access the editor




4. Insert the parameters below into the Parameter File section of your Job File.

Warning

NOTE: You may need to scroll down to see the Parameter File section.
