Most universal hardware Fabric Engine edge switch deployments use Distributed Virtual Routing (DvR). You must first enable the dvr-leaf-mode boot config flag and reset the switch before you can configure the DvR domain.
Note
DvR support varies by product and software release. For more information, see the Fabric Engine Feature Support Matrix for the specific software release.
You can configure the switch as a DvR leaf node without rebooting, as long as there is no unsupported configuration discovered on the switch.
configure terminal boot config flags dvr-leaf-mode Warning: Please carefully save your current configuration before enabling dvr-leaf-mode. Mgmt vlan interface will no longer be available without an associated i-sid. Enabling this flag will remove all non DVR Leaf configurations when save config is done. Do you wish to continue ? (y/n) ? y Warning: Please check if vrf-scaling boot flag is enabled on DVR controller. If so, enable it on DVR leaf also. Warning: Please save configuration and reboot the switch for this to take effect. save config reset -y
configure terminal dvr leaf 1
The switches form a new fabric automatically, or they can connect to an existing fabric that is Auto-sense-capable. If a switch connects to an existing, Auto-sense-capable fabric, it obtains an IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server using the onboarding I-SID/VLAN. The system can then automatically onboard the switch to the management servers, for example ExtremeCloud IQ or Extreme Management Center or ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine, to carry out provisioning deployment of the switch.
Follow this example if you do not use Auto-sense functionality or if you statically configure Fabric parameters on the Fabric Engine edge switch.
Configure SPBM Parameters
configure terminal interface loopback 1 ip address 192.168.1.2/32 exit spbm router isis system-id 9200.7435.0000 ip-source address 192.168.1.2 spbm 1 spbm 1 b-vid 4051-4052 primary 4051 spbm 1 nick-name 9.74.35 spbm 1 ip enable exit vlan create 4051 type spbm-bvlan vlan create 4052 type spbm-bvlan router isis enable
Configure NNI
interface gigabitethernet 1/49,1/50 no auto-sense enable (#If running 8.3 or later software) isis isis spbm 1 isis enable no shutdown exit
Enable Flex-UNI on access ports 1/1-1/11.
vlan members remove 1 1/1-1/11 (#if default VLAN 1 is on the ports) interface gigabitEthernet 1/1-1/11 flex-uni enable exit
Create Data I-SID 10, Voice I-SID 20, and Wireless I-SID 30 and add untagged port members to each I-SID.
i-sid 10 untagged-traffic port 1/1-1/4 exit i-sid name 10 DATA i-sid 20 untagged-traffic port 1/5-1/8 exit i-sid name 10 VOICE i-sid 30 untagged-traffic port 1/9-1/11 exit i-sid name 10 WIRELESS
In a non-DvR universal hardware Fabric Engine edge switch deployment, you can deploy a mix of Switched UNI (S-UNI) and traditional Customer VLAN (C-VLAN) UNIs. The following example shows a C-VLAN UNI deployment.
Create VLANs, map to I-SIDs, and add port members.
configure terminal vlan create 10 name DATA type port-mstprstp 0 vlan create 20 name VOICE type port-mstprstp 0 vlan create 30 name WIRELESS type port-mstprstp 0 vlan i-sid 10 10 vlan i-sid 20 20 vlan i-sid 30 30 vlan member add 10 1/1-1/4 vlan member add 20 1/5-1/8 vlan member add 30 1/9-1/11 ssh
Configure the management interface circuitless IP (CLIP) address.
