Enables the SmartFabric Services on the switches and creates a network fabric in a Clos-based spine-and-leaf architecture.

Syntax
smartfabric l3fabric enable role {LEAF [vlti ethernet node/slot/port] | SPINE | SUPER-SPINE}
Parameters
role — Enter the role of the switch in Layer 3 fabric:
  • LEAF — Specify the role as LEAF for top of rack switches and specify the VLTi ports that interconnect the leaf switches.
  • SPINE — Specify the role as SPINE for the switch that connects the leaf switches.
  • SUPER-SPINE — Specify the role as SUPER-SPINE to set the node's role as SUPER-SPINE.

Command Mode
CONFIGURATION, SmartFabric
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.

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

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

Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
Example (disable SFS) 
OS10(config)# no smartfabric l3fabric

Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
Example (SUPER-SPINE) 
OS10(config)#smartfabric l3fabric enable role SUPER-SPINE
