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.
