Automate onboarding of server interface profile by importing profiles that are discovered by SFS. From 10.5.3.0 release, this option
Import from Fabric is available from SFS GUI to import and onboard the discovered server interfaces to the fabric.
When known servers are connected to the fabric, SFS discovers the servers automatically and onboards the discovered servers as part of this workflow. SFS discovers the hosts or servers as known using the originator field in the Dell custom LLDP TLV sent by the servers. From OS10.5.2.2 release, SFS discovers unknown servers and you can onboard the unknown servers using the
Import from Fabric option. Onboarding unknown servers is applicable for the SFS L3 leaf and spine personality. Use this feature to onboard a known or unknown server.
Known server—A known server is a host that sends a valid originator in Dell-specific (custom) TLV in LLDP frame that is recognized by SFS.
Unknown server—An unknown server is a host that sends LLDP frames that do not include the Dell-specific TLV.
