Concept Guide

Leaf:
In SFS, the two leaf switches are automatically configured as a VLT pair.
OS10(config)# smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF vlti ethernet 1/1/4-1/1/5
Reboot to change the personality? [yes/no]: yes
In the above example, the Ethernet interfaces 1/1/4 and 1/1/5 are the VLTi interfaces.
In Isilon or PowerScale back-end deployments, when enabling SFS in a leaf and spine topology, no VLTi configuration is required
for the leaf switch. To set the leaf role for a switch, use the smartfabric l3fabric enable role LEAF command
without the VLTi parameters.
Enable SFS using RESTCONF API
You can enable SFS on OS10 switches using the RESTCONF API. For more information regarding general RESTCONF API
operations, see Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide.

The following example shows how to enable SFS on a leaf switch with an IP address (100.104.26.104) and ICL interfaces as
1/1/5 and 1/1/6.
