Configure Fabric Interconnects

Configure Fabric Interconnects

  • The SFS multisite fabric interconnect feature enables SFS virtual networks to be stretched between separate SmartFabrics over traditional L3 networks. The fabric interconnects in this deployment connect SmartFabrics in two different sites using external switches. The multisite fabric interconnect topology for this deployment is shown in the figure below.

    Figure 24. Fabric interconnect topology

    Note: The default maximum hop count on the SFS fabric interconnects is 10. To change this setting, see the Dell SmartFabric Services User Guide, Release 10.5.3.
