Enable SmartFabric Services on the switches
To create a L3 network fabric in a leaf and spine topology, enable the SFS in all the switches. After you enable SFS, a network
fabric is created automatically with the default fabric settings.
To enable the SFS:
● Designate a role for the switch: Leaf or spine
● Configure VLT interfaces for the leaf switches.
To enable the SmartFabric Services in a switch from the OS10 CLI, use the smartfabric l3fabric enable command. For
more information, see smartfabric l3fabric enable. After you enable the SFS on the switches and set a role, the system prompts
for confirmation to reload and boots in the SFS mode. To apply the changes, confirm by typing Yes and the switch reloads in
the SFS mode.
Spine:
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role SPINE
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
Leaf:
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF vlti
ethernet 1/1/4-1/1/5
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
The no smartfabric l3fabric command disables the L3 fabric personality. After you disable the L3 fabric in the switch,
the system prompts for confirmation.
OS10(config)# no smartfabric l3fabric
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
You can also enable SFS through the SFS Graphical User Interface (GUI). To enable SmartFabric Services using the GUI, see
Enable SmarFabric Services using GUI.
Enable SmartFabric Services using GUI
You can enable SFS using the GUI. To do so:
1. Enable RESTCONF API on the switch using the OS10 CLI.
To enable RESTCONF API, use rest api restconf command in CONFIGURATION mode. For more information, see
Configure RESTCONF API.
2. Enable SFS on the switch using the Edit option that appears in the upper right side of the page.
3. Enter the role of the switch and click OK to enable SFS.
NOTE: After you enable SFS in a switch, the system reloads to apply the configuration.
SmartFabric Services Graphical User Interface
OS10 has support for SmartFabric Services GUI to set up initial SFS configuration in a L3 leaf and spine topology. The SFS GUI
is focused on day zero deployment operations and management of the switches in a Layer 3 fabric that is formed in VxRail
deployment. Using SFS GUI, you can:
1. Enable SFS in a switch. For more information, see Enable SFS using GUI.
2. Setup initial deployment configurations from SFS mode using wizards:
● Rename the network fabric, VLT fabric or rack, and switches.
● Breakout ports.
