Examples in this section show different results when you add a new inheritable extensible attribute to an object located at the top or in the middle of the inheritance chain based on the following:
| Object | Type | Extensible Attribute | Extensible Attribute Value | Inheritance State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0.0/8 | Network Container | |||
| 10.0.0.0/16 | Network | Region | ABC | Native |
| 10.1.0.0/16 | Network |
Example 3.1: Add an extensible attribute Region with value DEF to 10.0.0.0/8
You select the following options for the existing extensible attribute:
- For descendants that already have this extensible attribute, the existing extensible attribute will always be set to Inherit.
- For descendants that do not have this extensible attribute, the descendants will inherit this extensible attribute.
Result:
| Object | Type | Extensible Attribute | Extensible Attribute Value | Inheritance State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0.0/8 | Network Container | Region | DEF | Native |
| 10.0.0.0/16 | Network | Region | DEF | Inherited from 10.0.0.0/8 |
| 10.1.0.0/16 | Network | Region | DEF | Inherited from 10.0.0.0/8 |

Examples in this section show different results when you remove an existing inheritable extensible attribute from an object located at the top or in the middle of the inheritance chain based on the following:

10.0.0.0/8 | Network Container | Region | DEF | Native |
10.0.0.0/16 | Network | Region | DEF | Inherited from 10.0.0.0/8 |

Examples in this section show different results after you modify existing inheritable extensible attribute of an object, but you do not have required permission to modify some descendants. For information about admin permissions, see About Administrative Permissions.
