name name-string |
Specify the name of the fabric. |
|
Specify any of the following options: |
|
|
repeer-to-cluster-node cluster-repeer-node name |
Specify if you want to replace a dead cluster node by restoring the switch against the existing cluster node. |
|
vlan vlan-id |
Specify VLAN for the fabric. |
|
password password-string |
Specify the fabric password. |
|
fabric-network in-band|mgmt |
Specify the in-band interface or the management interface to send fabric communications over the fabric. |

Usage The fabric consists of one or more switches that share a fabric administrative domain. The fabric presents the abstraction of a big logical switch with a single point of management, hiding the complexity of the underlying collection of switch hardware and inter-switch links. This command creates the fabric abstraction, but not the switch membership.
Examples To create a fabric named MyFabric with the password b0n3s123
CLI network-admin@switch > fabric-create name MyFabric password b0n3s123
fabric-info
This command is used to display information about a fabric on the switch.
Syntax fabric-info
Defaults None

Usage The fabric consists of one or more switches that share an administrative domain. The fabric presents the abstraction of a big logical switch with a single point of management, hiding the complexity of the underlying collection of switch hardware and inter-switch links. Use this command to display information about the fabric on a local switch.
Examples To display information about a fabric, use the following command:
CLI network-admin@switch > fabric-info
name: pn-fab
ident: a1634:b
mcastaddr:ff95::239:4:10:2c
tid: 0
fabric-join
This command is used to join an existing fabric on the switch.
Syntax fabric-join
|

Specify the IP address of the switch joining the fabric. |
|
Specify any of the following options: |
|
|

Specify VLAN for the fabric. |
|
delete-conflicts| abort-on-conflict |
Specify the action to take when there is a conflict with another fabric. |
|
location-id location-id-number |
Specify the location ID to use for joining the fabric. |
|
repeer-to-cluster-node cluster-repeer-node name |

Usage The fabric consists of one or more switches that share an administrative domain. The fabric presents the abstraction of a big logical switch with a single point of management, hiding the complexity of the underlying collection of switch hardware and inter-switch links. Use this command to join a fabric.
Examples To join the fabric, network-1, with the id, admin, and the password, pizzatime, use the following command:
CLI network-admin@switch > fabric-join name network-1 id admin password pizzatime
fabric-local-modify
