A contract interface is used as a contract consumption interface when a consumer consumes the contract by associating it to a consumption interface provided by the provider in the consumer's domain. A consumer can associate with the contract consumption interface when it is provided by the provider in the consumer's domain. Note that a contract consumption interface represents one or more subjects defined under the contract. By associating to an interface, an endpoint group starts consuming all the subjects represented by the interface. Also note that a contract can be defined under one tenant, but its interfaces can be defined in other tenants. A contract's interface will be used by the entities (endpoint groups) present in other tenants to participate in that contract. By this flexibility, tenants we will be able to participate in a single contract, which is defined at some third place. A contract interface is parented by a Tenant.

 ├
[V] fault:Delegate Exposes internal faults to the user. A fault delegate object can be defined on IFC (for example, for an endpoint group) and when the fault is raised (for example, under an endpoint policy on a switch), a fault delegate object is created on IFC under the specified object. A fault delegate object follows the lifecycle of the original fault instance object, being created, modified, or deleted based on the changes of the original fault.

A fault delegate object follows the lifecycle of the original fault instance object, being created, modified, or deleted based on the changes of the original fault.
 
 ├
[V] vz:ConsSubjLbl A consumer subject label. In general, a subject label is used as a classification criteria for subjects being consumed/provided by the endpoint groups (EPGs) participating in the contract. The label identifies a subject being consumed by a consumer. It can be parented by 2 different methods. The first method is the relation between the consumer EPG and the contract that is used for filtering the subjects. A label should match either the subject n...

Constants
created 2u created In a setter method: specifies that an object should be created. An error is returned if the object already exists.
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been created.
modified 4u modified In a setter method: specifies that an object should be modified
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been modified.
deleted 8u deleted In a setter method: specifies that an object should be deleted.
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been deleted.
DEFAULT 0 --- This type controls the life cycle of objects passed in the XML API.

When used in a setter method (such as configConfMo), the ModificationStatus specifies whether an object should be created, modified, deleted or removed.
In the return value of a setter method, the ModificationStatus indicates the actual operation that was performed. For example, the ModificationStatus is set to "created" if the object was created. The ModificationStatus is not set if the object was neither created, modified, deleted or removed.

When invoking a setter method, the ModificationStatus is optional:
If a setter method such as configConfMo is invoked and the ModificationStatus is not set, the system automatically determines if the object should be created or modified.
