Viewing Fabric Attach Configuration

To operate properly, Fabric Attach (FA) must be configured properly at both the global and interface level on the switch. Use this procedure to verify FA configuration.

Procedure

Enter Privileged EXEC mode:

enable
To verify that FA is enabled globally, enter one of the following commands:
- show fa
- show fa agent
To view all FA interfaces (ports and MLTs), enter:

show fa interface
To view FA interface configuration on ports, use one of the following commands:
- To view FA configuration on all ports, enter:
  
  show fa interface port
- To view FA configuration on a specific port, enter:
  
  show fa interface port [{slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}]
To view FA interface configuration on MLTs, use one of the following commands:
- To view FA configuration on all MLTs, enter:
  
  show fa interface mlt
- To view FA configuration on a specific MLT, enter:
  
  show fa interface mlt [<1-512>]
- To view FA interface configuration based on the authentication status, enter:
  
  show fa interface [enabled-auth] [disabled-auth]

Example

Verify that FA is configured globally.

Switch:1#show fa

                          Fabric Attach Configuration
===================================================================
                            FA Service : enabled
                       FA Element Type : server
                 FA Assignment Timeout : 240
                  FA Discovery Timeout : 240
                     FA Provision Mode : spbm

Verify FA configuration at the interface (port or MLT) level, on all interfaces.

In the following example output, note that:

FA is enabled on interfaces 2/10, 4/11 and Mlt2.
Both FA and message authentication are disabled on port 4/6.
Both FA and message authentication are enabled on port 4/11.

Switch:1#show fa interface
