Extreme Fabric Automation Administration Guide

Create a Clos fabric.

# efa fabric create –-name clos_fabric --type clos --stage 3

Note

Optimized replication is not supported on non-Clos fabric.

Enable multicast fabric settings.

# efa fabric setting update –-optimized-replication-enable yes –-name clos_fabric

Optional: Override the default MDT group and group range.

# efa fabric setting update –-name clos_fabric –-mdtgroup-range <A.B.C.D/L> –-default-mdtgroup <A.B.C.D>

# efa fabric setting update –-name clos_fabric –-mdtgroup-range 239.0.0.0/8 –-default-mdtgroup 239.1.1.1

Verify the fabric settings.

# efa fabric setting show --name clos_fabric --advanced

| MDT Group IPv4 Range           | 238.0.0.0/8            |

Add devices to the fabric.

# efa fabric device add-bulk --name clos_fabric --leaf Leaf1IP,Leaf2IP,Leaf3IP,Leaf4IP --spine Spine1IP,Spine2IP --username admin --password password

Configure the fabric.

# efa fabric configure –name clos_fabric

Verify fabric configuration.

# efa fabric show-config --name clos_fabric --advanced

All underlay configuration and overlay configurations are pushed to the devices and underlay topology is operational.
All BGP connections between leaf and spine nodes are established and neighbors are reachable.
Basic overlay configuration with optimized replication is configured.
All device configurations are applied to the devices in fabric. For more information, see Device Configuration.

Create a tenant and EPG to bring up the multicast tunnels with leaf nodes.

# efa tenant create --name tenant1 --l2-vni-range 10002-14190 --l3-vni-range 14191-14200 --vrf-count 10 --vlan-range 2-4090 --port Leaf1IP[0/12-16],Leaf2IP[0/12-16], Leaf3IP[0/12-16],Leaf4IP[0/12-16] --description Subscriber1

# efa tenant epg create --name epg1 --tenant tenant1 --port Leaf1IP[0/15],Leaf2IP[0/15],Leaf3IP[0/16 --switchport-mode trunk --ctag-range 100
