• Layer 3 distributed core — Use the Layer 3 distributed core for large fabric deployments. See Conventional Core

Versus Distributed Core

• Layer 3 with Resilency (Routed VLT) — Use the Layer 3 fabric to extend equal cost multi-pathing capabilities. See

Selecting a Layer 2 and Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT).

This screen allows you to create, edit, delete, and view the fabric.

NOTE: You can also use the Fabric Design Wizard from the Home > Design New Fabric screen.

Use the following screens to design a fabric:

1. Fabric Name and Type — Displays the fabric name, type, and description. Enables Openstack Neutron

Management and Blade Switch deployment.

2. Bandwidth and Port Count— Displays the number of edge port uplinks to the WAN connection, and downlinks (for

example, to servers or ToRs) required for the initial deployment as well as for future expansion.

3. Deployment Topology — Displays the option to select between a Layer 2 or Layer 3 solution and a list of all

applicable deployment topologies based on the workload requirements that you entered on the Bandwidth and Port

Count and Fabric Name and Type screens. This screen also displays Advanced options for configuring VLTi links

and fabric links. See also

Deployment Topology Use Cases.

4. Fabric Customization — Displays switch names, model, and switch role (aggregation or access) and modifies the

fabric link bandwidth for 2-tier and 3-tier fabrics. For a Layer 2 deployment topology, you can select S4810 or

S4820T switches (mixed node) on the access side.

5. Output — Displays future switches and links and the fabric in the following formats:

– graphical wiring plan

– tabular wiring plan

– graphical network topology

– tabular network topology

6. Summary — Displays a summary of the fabric design. You can also export the design in XML format and then

import the XML design back into AFM.

Fabric Design – Step 1: Fabric Name and Type

To simplify and automate the design process, AFM provides a fabric design wizard to help you design a Layer 2, Layer 3,

or Layer 3 with Resiliency (Routed VLT) fabric based on the your current and future datacenter capacity requirements.

See Designing the Fabric, Using the Fabric Design Wizard, and Supported Fabric Types.

To generate a physical wiring diagram for the fabric during the design phase, enter your data center capacity

requirements. The wiring diagram is typically given to the network operator who uses it to build the physical network.

For information about designing a fabric, see Selecting Distributed Core and Selecting a Layer 2 and Layer 3 with

Resiliency (Routed VLT) .

To configure the fabric name and type:

1. Navigate to the Fabric Design Wizard at the Network > Design Fabric screen.

2. Click the New Fabric link.

The Introduction screen is displayed.

3. Review the introduction and click the Next button.

The Fabric Name screen displays.
