Only the Dell EMC PowerSwitch systems listed in the following table are supported with SFS in leaf or spine roles. SFS for Leaf and Spine does not run on other Dell EMC PowerSwitch models or third-party switches.
For the NSX-T deployment shown in this guide, switches must be running SmartFabric OS10.5.2.2 or a later version specified in the SmartFabric OS10 Solutions Support Matrix.
Dell EMC PowerSwitch model | Typical role | VxRail node connectivity options |
S4112F/T-ON, S4128F/T-ON, S4148F/T-ON | Leaf | 10 GbE |
S5212F-ON, S5224F-ON, S5248F-ON, S5296F-ON | Leaf | 10/25 GbE |
S5232F-ON, Z9264F-ON | Spine | See note |
Any combination of the leaf and spine switches listed in the table may be used—with the exception that leaf switches must be deployed in pairs. Each leaf switch in the pair must be the same model due to VLT requirements.
SFS for Leaf and Spine supports up to 20 switches and eight racks in the fabric.
