The syntax to put leaf switches in SmartFabric mode is smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF vlti ethernet port_range domain domain_ID.
Each SmartFabric connected by a fabric interconnect must have a unique domain ID in the range 100 through 107. If a domain ID is not specified, it is set to 100 by default. In the following commands, the SmartFabric in Site 1 will use the default domain ID, 100. The SmartFabric in Site 2 will be set to domain 101.
For this deployment example, the following commands are run on each of the four S5248F-ON leaf switches in Site 1:
Note: This example uses the two QSFP28 2x 100 Gb DD ports, Ethernet 1/1/49-1/1/52, for the VLTi connections on each leaf. The default domain ID is used for Site 1.
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 switches reload.
For this deployment example, the following commands are run on each of the two S5212F-ON leaf switches in Site 2.
Note: This example uses Ethernet 1/1/13-1/1/14, for the VLTi connections on each leaf. The domain ID 101 is used for Site 2.
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF vlti ethernet 1/1/13-1/1/14 domain 101
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]:y
The configuration is applied, and the switches reload.
To verify switches are in SmartFabric mode, run the following command on each switch:
OS10# show switch-operating-mode
Switch-Operating-Mode : Smart Fabric Mode
