• Fabric link Configuration — (for a Layer 3 or Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT) fabric. For a Layer 3 fabric,
configures options for the spine and leaf to communicate in the fabric. For a Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT)
fabric, the links that connect the core, access, and aggregation switches in the fabric.
• Management IP — Specifies a management IP address to each switch.
• Software Images — Specifies the TFTP or FTP address (local or remote server) and the path of the FTOS software
image download to each type of switch. To stage the software, use this address.
• Output — Displays the uplink and downlink configuration on the leaves or access. Verify that this information is
correct before deploying the switches.
• Port Channel Configuration — Add, edit, delete, and automatically populate the port channel configuration. You can
also copy a switch port channel configuration onto another port.
• SNMP and CLI Credentials — Configures SNMP and CLI credentials at the fabric level. Configure SNMP so that the
AFM can perform SNMP queries on the switches in the fabric.
• Summary — Displays the fabric name, location of the software image, and DHCP configuration file.
• VLT VLAN Configuration — Specify a VLT VLAN to be applied to the Layer 2 VLT or Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed
VLT) fabric. Include at least one VLAN configuration.
• Uplink Configuration — Specify an even number of uplinks. The minimum number of uplinks is 2. One uplink is for
redundancy.
– For Layer 3 distributed core, an edge port link on the first two leaves that connects to the edge WAN, which
typically connects to an internet service provider (ISP).
– For a Layer 2 VLT fabric or Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT), an edge port link (uplinks) on the first two
aggregation devices that connect outside the fabric.
Protocol Configuration — Layer 2 VLT Fabric: Step 1
The pre-deployment protocol configuration for Layer 2 fabric consists of the following tasks.
NOTE:
Before you begin, review the pre-deployment workflow for a Layer 2 fabric at Using the Pre-deployment Configuration
Wizard.
• Pre-deployment – Step 1a: Uplink Configuration
• Pre-deployment – Step 1b: VLAN Configuration
• Pre-deployment – Step 1c: Port Channel Configuration
• Pre-deployment – Step 1d: Downlink Port Configuration
NOTE: For pre-deployment, the Layer 2 VLT and Layer 3 Distributed Core fabrics use the same pre-deployment
configuration screens from step 2 through step 7.
Pre-deployment – Step 1a: Uplink Configuration (VLT)
The Uplink Configuration page displays the port bandwidth and the number of specified ports (read-only fields) entered
on the Fabric Name and Type and Port Specification screens. To configure the uplink protocol for the edge port uplinks
to the WAN, use the Uplink Configuration screen. For information about uplinks, see VLT Terminology.
NOTE: For OSPF, the uplinks or interlinks must be in area 0.
