Fabric CLI

Under construction.

Currently Fabric CLI is represented by a kubectl plugin kubectl-fabric automatically installed on the Control Node. It is a wrapper around kubectl and Kubernetes client which allows to manage Fabric resources in a more convenient way. Fabric CLI only provides a subset of the functionality available via Fabric API and is focused on simplifying objects creation and some manipulation with the already existing objects while main get/list/update operations are expected to be done using kubectl.

VPC

Create VPC named vpc-1 with subnet 10.0.1.0/24 and VLAN 1001 with DHCP enabled and DHCP range starting from 10.0.1.10 (optional):

core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl fabric vpc create --name vpc-1 --subnet 10.0.1.0/24 --vlan 1001 --dhcp --dhcp-start 10.0.1.10

Attach previously created VPC to the server server-01 (which is connected to the Fabric using the server-01--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02 Connection):

core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl fabric vpc attach --vpc-subnet vpc-1/default --connection server-01--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02

To peer VPC with another VPC (e.g. vpc-2) use the following command:

core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl fabric vpc peer --vpc vpc-1 --vpc vpc-2
