This configuration example shows how to configure a Fabric Attach (FA) server Controlling Bridge (CB) to receive and approve VLAN/NSI mappings from an FA client connected to a bridge port extender (BPE).


Create VLAN/NSI mappings on the FA client switch connected to a BPE:
create vlan "VLAN_0505" configure vlan VLAN_0505 tag 505 create vlan "VLAN_0707" configure vlan VLAN_0707 tag 707 create vlan "VLAN_4004" configure vlan VLAN_4004 tag 4004 configure vlan VLAN_0505 add nsi 5050 configure vlan VLAN_0707 add nsi 70707 configure vlan VLAN_4004 add nsi 41414
