Perform the following steps to connect to the SmartFabric UI in multirack mode.
From a workstation with access to the OOB management network, use a browser to connect to the management IP address of any switch in the fabric by navigating to https:// switch_mgmt_ip_address.
Log in as admin.
Note: After reloading a switch in SmartFabric mode, it takes a few minutes after the login prompt displays at the switch CLI for SFS to come up and for the UI to be fully functional. If you connect to a switch in the fabric that is not the leader, a link to the leader is provided in the UI. The IPv4 address of the leader may also be determined by running the
show smartfabric cluster command from the CLI of any switch in the SmartFabric.
Once logged into the leader, the SFS UI
Summary page shows the state of the Fabric as well as the number of devices.
Detailed information on each switch can be found the Fabric Nodes page. There is also a topology view presented on the Topology tab in the SFS UI as seen in the figure below.
Note: Because hostnames have not been configured on the four additional switches, each switch is displayed with its default hostname, OS10. To configure hostnames for the additional switches, see the next section.
