Deploying and managing a fabric
You can use SFS GUI to set up initial SFS configuration in a leaf and spine topology. The SFS GUI helps you with the initial SFS
deployment operations and management of the switches in a fabric.
Access fabric setup options
Follow the instructions to access fabric setup options:
1. Log in to SmartFabric Services GUI using the management IP address of any switch.
2. Enter the credentials that are created to access an OS10 switch from the console or through a network connection. The
default username and password is admin. You can also use any user-configured accounts as credentials.
If you logged in to a switch in a fabric that is not the master, the page displays only the fabric mode of switch and the IP
address of the master along with the link to the master switch. All fabric configuration can be performed only from the SFS
master switch.
You can also launch the SFS GUI directly using the master IP address. To get the IP address of the master switch in the L3
fabric, use the show smartfabric cluster command. For more information, see SFS commands.
3. Click the link to log in to the master switch.
Upon successful login, the GUI appears with the following options on the Home page:
● Links to wizards that enable you to complete the fabric setup. Click the relevant link to set up the fabric.
● The L3 leaf and spine topology view that is created after you enable SFS. The topology view displays the switch icons
with the hostname and the service tag information under each node and the link connectivity between the switches.
