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.
