SFS commands
You can run show commands specific to SFS from the CLI to view fabric configuration information. The command output varies
depending on the SFS deployment.
smartfabric l3fabric enable
Enables SFS on the switches and creates a L3 network fabric.
Syntax
smartfabric l3fabric enable role {LEAF [vlti ethernet node/slot/port] |
SPINE}
Parameters role—Enter the role of the switch in the L3 fabric:
● LEAF [vlti ethernet node/slot/port]—Specify the role as LEAF for top of rack switches
and specify the VLTi ports that interconnect the leaf switches.
NOTE: Option to specify VLTi ports are not applicable for PowerScale deployment.
● SPINE—Specify the role as SPINE for the switch that connects the leaf switches.
Default None
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
After you enable the L3 fabric and set a role, the system prompts for confirmation of mode change. If
you type Yes, the switch reboots in SmartFabric mode and a network fabric is created automatically with
default fabric settings.
The no smartfabric l3fabric command disables the L3 fabric personality. After you disable the L3
fabric in the switch, the system reboots to change the personality after confirmation.
Example (Spine)
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role SPINE
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
Example (Leaf)
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF vlti
ethernet 1/1/4-1/1/5
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
Example (disable
SFS on both leaf
and spine)
OS10(config)# no smartfabric l3fabric
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
