Overview of Campus Fabric

The Campus Fabric feature provides the basic infrastructure for building virtual networks based on policy-based
segmentation constructs. Fabric overlay provides services such as host mobility and enhanced security, which
are in addition to normal switching and routing capabilities.
This feature enables a LISP-based Control Plane for VXLAN Fabric. This feature is supported only on the
M3 module. The Cisco Nexus 7700 Series with M3 Module acts as a fabric border which connects traditional
Layer 3 networks or different fabric domains to the local fabric domain, and translates reachability and policy
information from one domain to another. However inter-fabric connectivity on a same switch is not supported.
