The SmartFabric deploys. This process can take several minutes to complete. During this time all related
switches will be rebooted, and the operating mode changed to SmartFabric mode.
NOTE: After the fabric is created, the fabric health will be critical until at least one uplink is created.
Figure 12 shows the new SmartFabric object and some basic information about the fabric.

4.4 Configure uplink port speed or breakout, if needed
If the uplink ports need to be reconfigured to a different speed or breakout setting, you must do that before
creating the actual uplink.
To configure the Ethernet breakout on port groups using OME-M Console, perform the following steps:
1. Open the OME-M console.
2. From the navigation menu, click Devices > I/O Modules.
3. Select the switch you want to manage. In this example, a MX9116n FSE in slot IOM-A1 is selected.
4. Choose Hardware > Port Information.
5. In the Port Information pane, choose the desired port-group. In this example port-group1/1/13 is
selected.
