Figure 15. First pair of leaf switches in SmartFabric mode
Ensure the physical VLTi connections are made between leaf pairs before proceeding. This example uses the two QSFP28 2x100Gb DD ports, interfaces 1/1/49-1/1/52, for the VLTi connections on each S5248F-ON leaf.
To put the first pair of leaf switches in SmartFabric mode and configure them as VLT peers, run the following commands on each switch:
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.
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
