Default None
Command Mode CONFIGURATION, SmartFabric
Usage
Information
After you enable the L3 fabric and set a role, a network fabric is created automatically with default
fabric settings. After executing the command, the system prompts for confirmation and reboot with
changed personality. If you type Yes, the switch reloads with the configured SmartFabric personality. For
supported platforms, see SmartFabric Services for leaf and spine.
Use the smartfabric l3fabric enable role SUPER-SPINE command to enable SFS on the
node with the role as SUPER-SPINE. You must have sysadmin:netadmin privileges to run this command.
The no smartfabric l3fabric command disables the L3 fabric personality. After you disable the L3
fabric in the switch, the system prompts for confirmation.

Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Use this command to configure or update the VLTi information after the SFS is enabled on the node. The
system will go for a reload and then comes back up with the configured VLTi ports.
Before executing this command, the node should already be in Layer3 fabric mode. If not, the Layer3
fabric personality should be enabled.
If you use any of the existing ports for the VLTi, those ports should also be specified as part of the VLTi
configuration using the smartfabric commands.
Example
OS10(config)#smartfabric vlti ethernet 1/1/31-1/1/32
