SmartFabric Services for leaf and spine
SFS discovers the OS10 switches and builds a L2 or L3 network fabric using industry-standard L2 and L3 protocols. SFS forms a
cluster of OS10 switches belong to a domain. A domain is a LAN segment on which all the OS10 nodes are accessible. All the
OS10 switches must be on the same domain for the cluster to form. SFS provides APIs including managing fabric, node
inventory, fabric operations, server and onboarding storage devices. SFS provides APIs for collecting discovered servers and
storage device inventory.
