4. Ensure that the QFX3500 Node device you are adding to the QFabric switch is set to
fabric mode. By default, the QFX3500 Node devices work as standalone switches.
You perform this step using the console (CON) port on each QFX3500 Node device.
You can leave the QFX3500 Node device powered on. See Converting the Device
Mode for a QFabric Switch Component.
5. Connect the QFX3500 Node device to the QFX3000 QFabric switch control plane
network. See “Connecting a QFX3500 Node Device to the Control Plane Network” on
page 282.
6. Connect the QFX3500 Node device to each QFX3008-I Interconnect device for data
plane interconnection. See “Connecting a QFX3500 Node Device to a QFX3008-I
Interconnect Device” on page 284.
7. Verify that the QFX3500 Node device has been added to the QFX3000-G QFabric
system using the show fabricadministration inventory operational-modeCLI command.
8. If you need to delete an alias for the old Node device, configure an alias for the new
Node device, or add it to a Node group, log onto the QFabric system through the default
partition on the Director group. See Gaining Access to the QFabric Switch Through
the Default Partition, Configuring Aliases for the QFabric Switch, and Configuring Node
Groups for the QFabric Switch.
TIP: By default the Node devices are identified using their hardware serial
number. Aliases take the place of the hardware serial numbers and help
to simplify configuration tasks.
