Chapter 41 Configuring Campus Fabric
How to Configure Campus Fabric
•
Multicast in Campus Fabric is supported with PIM Sparse mode and PIM SSM. Dense mode is not
supported.
•
Multicast Rendezvous-point (RP) redundancy is not supported in the fabric domain.
•
Auto-RP is not supported in the fabric domain.
How to Configure Campus Fabric
Configuring Campus Fabric involves the following stages:
•
Network Provisioning — Setting up the management plane and the underlay mechanism.
•
Overlay Provisioning — Setting up the fabric overlay.
•
Policy Management — Setting up virtual contexts or VRFs, endpoint groups and policies.
•
Endpoint On-boarding — Setting up authentication and IP pools.
•
Monitoring and Troubleshooting — Verifying reachability to all fabric devices.
Configuring Fabric Edge Devices
You can configure Cisco Catalyst 4500-E series switches as edge devices only.
Before You Begin
•
Configure a loopback0 IP address for each edge device to ensure that the device is reachable. Ensure
that you apply the
ip lisp source-locator loopback0
command to the uplink interface.
•
Ensure that your underlay configuration is set up.

Step 2
Switch(config)#
fabric auto
Enables automatic fabric provisioning and enters automatic fabric
configuration mode.
Step 3
Switch(config-fabric-auto)#
domain
{
default
| name
fabric domain
name
}
Configures the default fabric domain and enters domain configuration
mode. The
name
keyword allows you to add a new fabric domain. The
no
version of this command deletes the fabric domain.
You can configure either the default domain, or create a new fabric
domain and not both.
Step 4
Switch(config-fabric-auto-domain)#
control-plane
ipv4 address
auth_key
key
Specifies the control-plane device IP address and the authentication key,
to allow the fabric edge device to communicate with the control-plane
device. The
no control-plane
ipv4 address
auth_key
key
command
deletes the control-plane device from the fabric domain.
You can specify up to 3 control-plane IP addresses for the edge device.
