Create uplink for external network connectivity
Uplinks enable the network fabric to communicate with the external network. Before creating an uplink, ensure that the external
network is configured with the L2 or L3 setup. Any ports available on the leaf switches may be used as uplinks, provided they
are compatible with the corresponding ports on the external switches.
SFS supports eBGP and static routes profiles and LACP and static for uplink bonding. For more information, see Uplinks section.
From SmartFabric Services page, click Uplinks tab to view the list of the uplinks that are configured in the SFS. For more
information, see Manage uplinks. The Uplinks page does not display the network and route profiles that are associated with the
uplinks. View these details by running the show smartfabric uplinks command on the switch.
