To do...
Enter system view
Set the XRN fabric
authentication mode for the
switch
When an XRN fabric operates normally, you can regard the whole fabric as a single device and perform
configuration on it. Multiple switches constitute an XRN fabric. Therefore, data transmission and
simultaneous program execution among the switches may cause the XRN fabric in a busy situation.
When you configure the XRN fabric, you may receive a prompt "Fabric system is busy, please try
later..." which indicates the fabric system does not perform your configuration properly. In this case, you
need to verify your previous configuration or perform your configuration again.
