How to Create a Fabric Service Definition

You can create a service definition in the Sites tab in ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine. Service definitions display information configured in service applications definitions. When created, service definitions are added to sites in your network and are used to build a fabric topology map.

Create a Service Definition

To create a service definition:

  2. Select Sites from the left-panel drop-down list.
  3. Select Service Definitions in the left-panel.

    The Create Service Definition window opens.
  6. Enter a name in the Name field.
  7. Select Fabric Connect from the Type drop-down list.
  8. Select OK to create the service definition.

After the service definition is created and configured, you can apply it to a site within your network. When fabric services have been assigned to a site, they cannot be deleted.
