Prerequisites to setup multisite fabric interconnect

Ensure that the following requirements are met before configuring multisite fabric interconnect:

  • Verify the physical connections on the fabric interconnect. SFS supports the fabric interconnects links (direct or external) between leaf switches and spine switches.
  • Ensure that the domain IDs of the fabrics are different.
  • Ensure that the ASNs of the switches are different.
  • Launch the SFS GUI of both the fabrics (Site 1 and Site 2) to collect the following information that you have to enter during the fabric interconnect setup:
    • Domain IDs of the Site 1 and Site 2 fabrics—From SFS GUI, click Global Settings > Fabric Settings to view the domain ID.
    • BGP ASN numbers of the switches deployed in the Site 1 and Site 2 fabrics—From SFS GUI, click Global Settings > Fabric Settings to view the ASN details.
    • Loopback address of the switches deployed in the Site 1 and Site 2 fabrics—From SFS GUI, click Global Settings > Fabric Interconnect Details to view the loopback address of each switch in the fabric.
