Fabric Attach Triggered Signaling

Version 32.3 adds support for Fabric Attach triggered signaling that replaces LLDP timer triggers to create VLAN/NSI binding. This feature provides faster learning of VLAN/NSI bindings when a switch or link recovers from failure. Fabric Attach triggered signaling of VLAN/NSI mappings occurs when:

• A link between the client and proxy flaps
• A client switch reboots
• A proxy switch reboots
• A link between the server and proxy flaps
• A server switch reboots
• A new VLAN/NSI mapping is added in the client

Limitations

A proxy switch sends out the maximum of 94 VLAN/NSI mapping requests to a server based on the time the mappings are created. Only the first 94 mappings added in the VLAN/NSI DB are sent to the server for approval.

Supported Platforms

All platforms that support Fabric Attach.
