SPX Interactive-Setup

SPX interactive-setup allows users to perform tasks such as determining which units to include in the Campus Fabric domain and which IDs they will be assigned. SPX interactive-setup is a superset of zero-touch features.

Topologies

Certain topologies can be discovered and automatically configured in a Campus Fabric domain by the zero-touch utility. All topologies supported by zero-touch can also be handled by the SPX interactive-setup utility. In addition, the SPX interactive-setup utility handles a broad range of topologies that can be modified by user selections to become valid.

• All topologies supported by zero-touch are valid topologies for SPX interactive-setup.

• SPX interactive-setup can handle some special topologies that cannot be handled by the zero-touch utility. Refer to Deployment Scenario 3: Migrating an Existing Stack to Campus Fabric.
