Fabric Attach is a software-based feature that automates the connection to the Fabric Connect environment, enabling devices and their associated end-points to be quickly mapped to the appropriate virtualized Fabric Connect service.
Provisioning a non-fabric AP to the Fabric Connect network is as easy as taking the Fabric Attach-enabled AP out of the box and physically connecting it to a Fabric Connect-enabled switch. The Fabric Attach device then automatically configures itself with the appropriate management VLAN, preparing itself for the dynamic extension of virtualized fabric services on behalf of its connected end-point devices or users. This can speed the deployment of edge devices to the Fabric Connect environment since no manual configuration is required, and can be especially valuable at locations where networking skills are at a premium, such as remote offices.
