Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

Enable SmartFabric Services on the switches

To create a L3 network fabric in a leaf and spine topology, enable the SFS in all the switches. After you enable SFS, a network fabric is created automatically with the default fabric settings.

To enable the SmartFabric Services in a switch from the OS10 CLI, use the smartfabric l3fabric enable command. For more information, see smartfabric l3fabric enable. After you enable the SFS on the switches and set a role, the system prompts for confirmation to reload and boots in the SFS mode. To apply the changes, confirm by typing Yes and the switch reloads in the SFS mode.

Spine:

OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role SPINE

Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes

Leaf:

OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF vlti 
ethernet 1/1/4-1/1/5

Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes

The no smartfabric l3fabric command disables the L3 fabric personality. After you disable the L3 fabric in the switch, the system prompts for confirmation.

OS10(config)# no smartfabric l3fabric

Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes

You can also enable SFS through the SFS Graphical User Interface (GUI). To enable SmartFabric Services using the GUI, see Enable SmarFabric Services using GUI.
