To deploy a fabric:
1. Verify that the software images for the switches are installed on to the TFTP or FTP server.
2. Verify that you have configured the correct TFTP or FTP address at the Administration > Settings screen. Changing
the TFTP server now does not correct the address unless you redo the pre-deployment.
3. For a remote DHCP server only, verify that the DHCP configuration file generated by the AFM for the switches in the
fabric is integrated into the DHCP server. This file enables the switch to connect to the DHCP server and download
the correct configuration and boot.
4. Restart the DHCP server that contains the generated DHCP file that you created in the DHCP Integration screen. For
information about DHCP integration, see DHCP Integration. For information about how to view the DHCP
configuration file for a fabric, see Viewing the DHCP Configuration File.
5. Navigate to the Network > Fabric Name > Configure and Deploy screen.
6. From the Deploy Fabric pull-down menu, select the Deploy and Validate option.
The Deploy and Validate screen displays.
7. On the Deploy tab, select the switches that you want to deploy in the Switch Name column.
8. Power up the selected switches. The switches must be IP ready.
9. Click the Deploy Selected link and wait for the fabric to deploy.
