View Fabric Attach discovered elements
Use this procedure to view discovered Fabric Attach elements.
About this task
When FA is enabled on an FA Server switch, LLDP PDUs are exchanged between the FA Server and FA Clients or Proxies. Standard LLDPs allow neighbors to be learned. In addition, organizational specific element discovery TLVs allow the Client or Proxy to recognize that it has attached to an FA Server. Only after the discovery handshake is complete, an FA Client or Proxy can transmit I-SID-to-VLAN assignments to join the SPB Fabric through the FA Server.
