Configure Remote SPBM Parameters

About this task

Perform this procedure to configure remote SPBM global parameters. SPBM uses the remote 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 Remote.
  3. Select the SPBM tab.
  4. Select Insert to create a remote SPBM instance.
  5. Configure the remote SPBM parameters.
  6. Select Insert.
