| certificate_name | 
        
        The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication.
        
       
        It defaults to the  
       private_key basename, without extension.
       aliases: cert_name  | 
     |

       l3dom: The external routed domain profile is a policy for managing L3 routed infrastructure outside the fabric.
       phys: The physical domain profile stores the physical resources and encap resources that should be used for EPGs associated with this domain.
