Enabling VCF fabric topology discovery
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
VCF fabric topology discovery can be automatically enabled by executing configurations in the
template file or be manually enabled at the CLI. The device uses LLDP to collect topology data of
directly-connected devices. Make sure you have enabled LLDP on the device before you manually
enable VCF fabric topology discovery.

Configuring automated underlay network
provisioning
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure automated underlay network provisioning, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
•
Automated underlay network configuration can be automatically completed after the device
starts up. If you need to change the automated underlay network provision on a running device,
you can download the new template file through TFTP. Then, execute the
vcf-fabric underlay
autoconfigure command to manually specify the template file on the device.
•
As a best practice, do not modify the network type or the device role while the device is running.
If it is necessary to do so, make sure you understand the impacts on the network and services.
•
If you change the role of the device, the new role takes effect after the device restarts up.
