This command is used to create a fabric on the network.

Syntax   fabric-create

name name-string

repeer-to-cluster-node cluster-repeer-node name

Defaults   If the multicast address is not specified, a random IPv6 address in the range from ff95::239:4:10:1 to ff95::239:4:10:ff is used as the default fabric multicast address. Unless you specify a password, the default password for the fabric is blank.

Access   CLI

History

Command introduced.

Version 2.2

The parameter network-type added.

Version 2.4

The parameter network-type removed. Two parameters fabric-network, and control-network added. The parameter repeer-to-cluster-node added.

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
