Quick Steps for Configuring Automatic Fabric Configuring Automatic Fabric
page 14-6 OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Switch Management Guide March 2015
4 To change the status of Loopback Detection on UNP SPB access ports, use the auto-fabric protocols
command with the loopback-detection parameter. For example:
-> auto-fabric protocols loopback-detection admin-state disable
5 To change the Automatic Fabric discovery window time interval, use the auto-fabric discovery-
interval command. For example:
-> auto-fabric discovery-interval 30
This value specifies the number of minutes the switch will wait between each attempt to discover a
configuration for the switch. When the discovery window time interval is set to zero (the default), the
discovery interval is disabled.
6 By default, the Automatic Fabric configuration save operation is disabled for the switch. To enable this
function, use the
auto-fabric config-save admin-state command. For example:
-> auto-fabric config-save admin-state enable
When this function is enabled, the configuration discovered through the Automatic Fabric process is
automatically saved to the switch configuration file at a specified time interval.
7 When the Automatic Fabric configuration save operation is enabled, the switch will save the
discovered configuration to the switch configuration file every 300 seconds (5 minutes) by default. To
change this time interval, use the
auto-fabric config-save interval command. For example:
-> auto-fabric config-save interval 600
8 To change the default profile used to dynamically create a Service Access Point (SAP) on UNP SPB
access ports, use the
auto-fabric protocols spb default-profile command. For example:
-> auto-fabric protocols spb default-profile single-service
A single service profile specifies attributes for untagged traffic; an auto VLAN profile (used by default)
specifies attributes for tagged traffic.
9 To change the default SAP profile applied to a specific port, use the auto-fabric protocols spb set-
profile command. For example:
-> auto-fabric protocols spb set-profile single-service interface 1/1/1
The default SAP profile configured for a port takes precedence over the default SAP profile configured
globally for all UNP SPB access ports. For example, if a single service profile is specified for a port but
the default SAP profile for the switch is auto VLAN, the single service profile is used to create the SAP
on that port.
