FA (Fabric Attach)

networking

Stands for: Fabric Attach

A protocol that auto-attaches edge switches to an Ethernet fabric.

Fabric Attach lets an edge switch join a fabric and signal VLAN-to-service mappings automatically over LLDP, so the edge does not have to run the fabric's control protocol (IS-IS/SPBM) itself.

Also known as: fa, fabric attach
