Getting Started with Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10

Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 is a network operating system (NOS) supporting multiple architectures and environments. The SmartFabric OS10 solution allows multi-layered disaggregation of network functionality. SmartFabric OS10 bundles industry-standard management, monitoring, and Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking stacks over CLI, SNMP, and REST interfaces. Users can choose their own third-party networking, monitoring, management, and orchestration applications. To develop scalable L2 and L3 networks, the SmartFabric OS10 delivers a modular and disaggregated solution in a single-binary image.
