Configuring SPBM parameters

Use the following procedure to configure SPBM global parameters. SPBM uses the Intermediate-System-to-Intermediate-System (IS-IS) link state routing protocol to provide a loop free Ethernet topology that creates a shortest path topology from every node to every other node in the network based on node MAC addresses.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Fabric.
  2. Select SPBM.
  3. Select the SPBM tab.
  4. To create an SPBM instance, click Insert.
  5. Configure the SPBM parameters.
  6. Select Apply.
