The SmartFabric deploys. The process of Fabric creation can take up to 20 minutes to complete. During this time, all related switches are rebooted, and the operating mode changes from Full Switch to SmartFabric mode.
NOTE: After the fabric is created, the fabric health is critical until at least one uplink is created.
The figure below shows the new SmartFabric object and some basic information about the fabric.
