Monitoring ICX Fabric Information

The controller provides access to view switch-level VXLAN fabric information, including VXLAN VNI mapping, BGP neighbors, BGP EVPN attribute entries, and MAC address tables.

To view the various aspects of VXLAN fabric information for a specific switch, perform the following steps.

Note: When SmartZone is configured in 'IPv6 only' mode, it removes support for Fabric information.

  1. From the main menu, navigate to Network > Wired > Switches.
    The Switches window is displayed.
  2. Select a switch for which you want to view the fabric information.
