Introduction
Active Fabric Manager (AFM) is a graphical user interface (GUI) based network automation and orchestration tool that
enables you to design, build, deploy, and optimize a Layer 2 Virtual Link Trunking (VLT), Layer 3 distributed core, and
Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT) fabric for your current and future capacity requirements. This tool helps you
simplify network operations, automate tasks, and improve efficiency in the data center.
You can monitor performance at the network, fabric, switch, and port level. You can also display additional performance
statistics through AFM using a Dell OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) server. It automates common network
management operations and provides advanced network element discovery, remote configuration management, and
system health monitoring to proactively alert network administrators to potential network problems. OMNM provides
SOAP based web services to allow 3rd parties to integrate with it. AFM supports Dell Networking S4810, S4820T, S55,
S60, S6000, MXL blade, and Z9000 switches.
Problem: Challenges to Build a Fabric in the Data Center
How do you design the fabric?
What kind of switch do you buy?
Who is going to use Visio® to manually document the fabric, that is, manually document which switch ports connect
to another switch
Who is going to draw the cables?
How will I ensure that this fabric design is accurate?
Who is going to update the fabric design as I change it or expand it?
Who is going to configure every switch in the fabric and what kind of errors can happen because this is manually
performed?
How do I keep track of software versions on each switch?
Who is going to validate every switch in the fabric to verify that they have the correct version of software and
configuration and that the switches are physically connected to the right switches.
