Fabric Layer

The fabric layer contains the networking infrastructure that ties the resource pool together. The switched fabric consists of industry-standard Ethernet switching components that provide connectivity to devices within the resource pool and connectivity to internal networks, and optionally, the Internet.

The Ethernet switches provide connectivity to devices within the resource pool as well as network connectivity to the Internet or internal networks. Through the automated management of VLANs on an Ethernet switch, you can add or remove devices in the resource pool from any network topology designed using the Control Center.
