Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

Static onboarding for nonintegrated devices

SmartFabric services support onboarding server on assigned ports instead of LLDP based discovery mechanism. SFS extent the server profile and server interface profile for you to provide onboarded interface.

• All existing bonding modes is supported on statically onboarded server.
• Wherever possible, STP is enabled on these ports. Since VXLAN does not support STP on access ports, this is not applicable for L3 Fabric. RPVST+ is enabled on Layer 3 VLAN networks. For the VXLAN type of network, no STP can be configured; the network topology must remain loop free.
• All existing network types are allowed to be onboarded on statically onboarded servers.
• Since onboarding is static, when server is moved there is no support for moving the configurations along with the server.
• The port-role for the statically onboarded server is EndHost or GenericEndHost.
• When the server profile or server interface profile is deleted, all the impacted interfaces are brought to default configuration.
