Automatic IP Protocol Configuration
The following switch configuration requirements support the automatic IP protocol configuration process:
• At least one existing IP interface that does not already have a protocol configuration.
• Automatic configuration for the IP protocols (OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS IPv4, IS-IS IPv6) is enabled
(the default). The automatic configuration status for these protocols is configured through an
Automatic Fabric CLI command (see
“Configuring the Discovery Status for Specific Protocols” on
page 14-25).
• The Automatic Fabric feature is enabled for the switch (see “Enabling or Disabling Automatic Fabric”
on page 14-24).
