In this section, the two spine switches and two leaf switches are added to the SmartFabric. These are Spine1, Spine2, Leaf2A, and Leaf2B, as shown in Figure 58.
Cable the switches as shown in Figure 58. Connection details are shown in Figure 8. Also, make OOB management connections, as shown in Figure 10.
Spines
The following commands are run on Spine1 and Spine2. This puts the switches in SmartFabric mode as spines.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role SPINE
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]:y
The configuration is applied, and the switch reloads. Repeat on the second spine switch.
Leafs
The following commands are run on Leaf2A and Leaf2B. This puts the switches in SmartFabric mode as leafs and configures them as VLT peers.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF vlti ethernet 1/1/49-1/1/52
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]:y
The configuration is applied, and the switch reloads. Repeat on the second leaf switch.
Optionally, run the following command to verify that a leaf or spine switch is in SmartFabric mode:
OS10# show switch-operating-mode
Switch-Operating-Mode : Smart Fabric Mode
