Add Member Fabrics

Register site fabrics as MSD members for centralized overlay management.

Fabric Membership

Add your existing site fabrics (Site1 and Site2) as members of the MSD fabric. Member fabrics retain their local underlay management while overlay VRFs and networks are controlled at the MSD level.

Hierarchical Management

This creates a hierarchical management model where underlay (fabric, switches, physical connectivity) is managed per-site, but overlay (VRFs, networks, tenants) is orchestrated centrally through the MSD fabric.
