Containers Hierarchies
[V] top:Root  This class represents the root element in the object hierarchy. All managed objects in the system are descendants of the Root element.
 ├
[V] fabric:Topology The root for IFC topology.
 
 ├
[V] fabric:Pod A pod.
 
 
 ├
[V] fabric:Node The root node for the APIC.
 
 
 
 ├
[V] ctx:Local The local Context.
 
 
 
 
 ├
[V] ctx:Application The context application.
 
 
 
 
 
 ├
[V] pol:Uni Represents policy definition/resolution universe.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 ├
[V] fv:Tenant A policy owner in the virtual fabric. A tenant can be either a private or a shared entity. For example, you can create a tenant with contexts and bridge domains shared by other tenants. A shared type of tenant is typically named common, default, or infra.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 ├
[V] vns:AbsGraph The abstract graph is made up of abstract nodes and used to define the traffic flow through a service function such as load balancing, SSL offload, and firewall. Abstract nodes are comprised of service nodes such as a service node balancer (SLB) or firewall (FW), abstract term nodes (the nodes that are connected to endpoint groups), and connections.

Contained Hierarchy
[V] vns:AbsConnection An abstract connection connects two abstract connectors. These connections can either be between two abstract nodes or between an abstract node and an abstract terminal node.
 ├
[V] fault:Counts An immutable object that provides the number of critical, major, minor, and warning faults raised on its parent object and its subtree.
 ├
[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.
 ├
[V] health:Inst A base class for a health score instance.(Switch only)
 ├
[V] tag:AInst The label instance, which is contained by the taggable 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.

 ├
[V] fault:Counts An immutable object that provides the number of critical, major, minor, and warning faults raised on its parent object and its subtree.
 
 ├
[V] fault:Inst Contains detailed information of a fault. This object is attached as a child of the object on which the fault condition occurred. One instance object is created for each fault condition of the parent object. A fault instance object is identified by a fault code.

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.
