FabricPath Packet Flow Example
In this section, you review an example of packet flow within a FabricPath network. There are two spine switches and three leaf switches in this sample topology. Spine switches are S1 and S2, and leaf switches are S10, S14, and S15. Host A connected to the leaf switch S10 would like to communicate with the Host B connected to the leaf switch S15. FabricPath is configured correctly and the network is fully converged.
Unknown Unicast Packet Flow
In the beginning, the MAC address table of switch S10 and S14 is empty. The MAC address table of switch S15 has only one local entry for Host B pointing to port 1/2. The following steps explain unknown unicast packet flow originated from Host A:
1. Host A sends an unknown ...
