Figure 23. Customizing Fabric Link Bandwidth between Switches

9. Click Next to go to the Output screen.

Standard Fabric Design — Fabric Customization

To modify the fabric link bandwidth between the aggregation and access switches for two-tier and three-

tier fabrics, use the

Fabric Customization screen, which displays the switch names, models, and switch

roles (spine, leaf, aggregation or access). For a Layer 2 or Layer 2 with Resiliency (Routed VLT)

deployment topology, select S4810 or S4820T switches (mixed node) on the access side.

To customize the fabric, configure the Advance Configuration option for Fabric Link between

Aggregation and Access

to the maximum bandwidth for each access switch. For example, configure the

maximum bandwidth as 120 GB at the Deployment Topology screen of the Fabric Design wizard. If you

do not configure this option, the Fabric Customization screen is read-only. For information about the

Advanced Options, refer to Advanced Fabric Design. For information about tiers, refer to Standard Fabric

Design — Deployment Topology and Deployment Topology Use Cases.
