Dell SmartFabric OS10 includes SmartFabric Services (SFS). With SFS, customers can quickly and easily deploy and automate data center networking fabrics.
There are two types of SFS:
- SFS for Leaf and Spine — supported on selected Dell PowerSwitch S and Z series switches
- SFS for PowerEdge MX — supported on selected modular switches, not applicable to this guide
SFS for Leaf and Spine has two personalities:
- VxRail Layer 2 (L2) Single Rack personality — This is the original (legacy) SFS personality that automates configuration of a single pair of ToR (or leaf) switches for VxRail clusters.
- Layer 3 (L3) Fabric personality — This is the new SFS personality available as of OS10.5.0.5 that automates configuration of a leaf-spine fabric.
