CONFIGURATION
Usage Information

After you enable the L3 fabric and set a role, the system prompts for confirmation to reboot to apply the mode change. If you type Yes, the switch reboots in SmartFabric mode and a network fabric is created automatically with default fabric settings. From 10.5.3.0 release, you can enable the L3 fabric along with domain. The leaf and spine ASN and subnet prefixes is autogenerated based on the domain ID.

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.

This command is accessible to users with sysadmin and netadmin roles.

Example (Spine) 
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role SPINE domain 101

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 domain 101

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
