A SmartFabric is a network fabric that consists of physical resources, such as servers and switches and logical resources
networks, templates, and uplinks. SmartFabric Services is an OS10 feature enabled on PowerEdge MX Ethernet I/O modules.
When you create a SmartFabric using the OpenManage Enterprise - Modular (OME-Modular) user interface, the switches
assigned to the fabric are automatically placed in SmartFabric mode. In SmartFabric mode, PowerEdge MX switches operate as
Layer 2 I/O aggregation devices with complete interoperability with all major network equipment vendors.
Use the OME-Modular interface to configure PowerEdge MX networking in SmartFabric mode. For more information, see:
