Roles in an SVF System
In Figure 11-2, an SVF system consists of the parent and client, which are connected through fabric ports. For the roles in an SVF system, see Table 11-1.
Table 11-1 Roles in an SVF system
Role |
Definition |
|---|---|
Parent |
A parent is an aggregation device that manages and configures an SVF system. |
Client |
Client refers to all access devices, including wired access devices (ASs) and wireless access devices (AP). ASs are classified into level-1 and level-2 ASs.
|
Fabric-port |
A fabric port is a logical port that connects the parent and a level-1 AS or connects a level-1 AS and a level-2 AS. One or more member ports can be added to a fabric port, and one fabric port can connect to only one AS. Ports 1 through 6 in the preceding figure. |
- Service ports on fixed switches include uplink and downlink ports. For details about uplink and downlink ports, see the "Naming Conventions" section in the Hardware Description - Chassis.
- Only uplink ports can be used as member ports of a fabric port. To use downlink ports as member ports of a fabric port, run the uni-mng up-direction fabric-port member interface interface-type interface-number [ to interface-number ] command to set these downlink ports as uplink ports.
