Configuring a Fabric Port (on an AS)
Context
When an AS connects to an SVF system across a Layer 2 network, the fabric port that connects the AS to the parent needs to be manually configured and has member ports added. A switch's uplink and downlink ports can be configured as member ports of an AS-side fabric port.
The command that configures the stack ID is mutually exclusive with the command that configures a member port for a fabric port:
After the stack slot slot-id renumber new-slot-id command is executed in a specified slot, the port in the slot cannot be configured as a member port of a fabric port, and the message "Error: Operation failed. The slot already has stack slot renumber configuration." is displayed.
After a port in a slot is configured as a member port of a fabric port, the stack ID of the slot cannot be configured using the stack slot slot-id renumber new-slot-id command, and the message "Error: The slot already has fabric port member configuration. Delete the existing fabric port member configuration first." is displayed.
You need to configure a member port of a fabric port according to the network configuration. A member port needs to be reconfigured if the stack ID changes because the stack changes, for example, the stacking function is disabled, or existing stack IDs conflict after member devices are added to the stack.
Procedure
- Run the uni-mng indirect fabric-port member interface interface-type interface-number command to configure the switch's specified uplink port as a member port of the fabric port that connects the AS to the parent across a network.
- (Optional) Run the uni-mng up-direction fabric-port member interface interface-type interface-number [ to interface-number ] command to configure the switch's specified downlink port as a member port of the fabric port that connects the AS to the parent across a network.
If you use a downlink port as a member port of a fabric port, you must run the uni-mng up-direction fabric-port command.
You can run this command multiple times to add multiple member ports to the fabric port. A maximum of eight member ports can be added to a fabric port.
Member ports of a fabric port are added to Eth-Trunk0 by default.
Ports used to set up a stack cannot be configured as member ports of a fabric port.
