Configure a Non-Clos Small Data Center Fabric

1. Create the Fabric.
   

   efa fabric create

2. Add a device to the Fabric.
   

   efa fabric device add

   A device must be registered with Inventory Service before you can add it to a Fabric. However, if you provide a user name and password when you run the command, then the devices are automatically registered with the Inventory Service. See the examples at the end of this procedure.

   You can add multiple devices by using the efa fabric device add-bulk command.

3. Configure the Fabric.
   

   $ efa fabric configure

   

   Tip

   The validation process reports any errors as a response to the efa fabric device add or efa fabric configure operations. You can use the efa fabric error show command to export these errors to a CSV file.
