Note

Although the Fabric Extend view is not required, as a best practice, include this element in your Fabric Extend solution.

Every Fabric Extend network deployment involves creating numerous bidirectional tunnels. The Fabric Extend view in EFO automates the provisioning of these tunnels by creating Fabric Extend domains. When you add nodes to a Fabric Extend domain, the Fabric Extend view automatically creates tunnels between the nodes belonging to the same domain. The Fabric Extend view also ensures error-free bidirectional tunnel provisioning and decommissioning, if required.
