Full Automation Configuration Example

The following example shows how to use full automation (see Configuring Extended Edge Switching Topology with Full Automation) to set up a controlling bridge (CB) with three attached bridge port extenders (BPEs) in a two-tier structure (see CB with Two-Tier BPEs Topology).

CB with Two-Tier BPEs Topology

Attach BPEs.

Check for the presence default.xsf:

# ls /usr/local/cfg
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root          1024 Apr 10 15:01 cc_logs

drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          1024 May 22 14:58 vmt

Remove CB configuration:
```
# unconfigure switch all
Restore all factory defaults and reboot? (y/N) Y
```
When the CB finishes rebooting, connected BPEs, extended slots, and LAGs on cascade ports are automatically configured.
Apply Layer 2 configuration:

Note

Due to unconfiguring the switch, a series of questions appear to apply the desired level of security configuration. Respond to the prompts as desired. For more information, see Using Safe Defaults Mode.
```
# configure vlan Default delete port all
# create vlan v100 tag 100
# configure vlan v100 add port 130:1-2, 120:1-2, 1:7 tagged
```
If required, you can use standard show commands to troubleshoot the network from the CB using the counters:

# show port 130:49-50, 120:49-50, 1:7 statistics no-refresh
