Copy Switch VLAN
Config
Copy the VLAN association from the current switch to other switches in
the fabric.
Copy VLAN Port Config Copy the VLAN association from a selected port to other ports in a
switch.
Port-VLAN Association Map the physical port to the VLAN ID. For example, map one port to
multiple VLANs.
VLAN-Port Association Map the VLAN ID to physical port interfaces. For example, map one VLAN
to multiple ports.
Copy VLAN Tagged Port
Config
Copy the VLAN tagged port configuration from a selected port to other
ports in a switch.
4. From the Switches drop-down menu, select an access or aggregation switch.
The selected switch for the VLAN mapping displays in the read-only Model field.

Protocol Configuration — Layer 3 Distributed Core Fabric
To configure the pre-deployment protocol configuration for a Layer 3 distributed core fabric, complete
the following tasks:
1. Review the pre-deployment workflow for a Layer 3 distributed core fabric at Using the Pre-
deployment Configuration Wizard
2. Pre-deployment — fabric link configuration
3. Pre-deployment — uplink configuration
4. Pre-deployment — downlink configuration
L3 DC/Routed VLT Pre-Deployment — Fabric Link Configuration
Before you begin, review Using the Pre-deployment Configuration Wizard and Pre-deployment Wizard:
Introduction. To configure links connecting the leaves and spines for a Layer 3 distributed core fabric or
links connecting the core, access, and aggregation switches for a Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT)
fabric using the OSPF routing protocol, use the Fabric link Configuration screen. The selected fabric type
and fabric oversubscription ratio determines the value that AFM automatically assigns to the
Port
Bandwidth read-only field. To automate the pre-deployment process, AFM automatically:
• populates the starting IP address range and prefix
• populate the loop IP address and prefix based on the fabric design
• sets the area ID for OSPF to 0
Review these settings before deployment. You can modify the IP address range and loopback address.
The range for the starting prefix for both types of addresses is 8–29 and the range for the loopback prefix
is 8–26.
