Overview

Use this procedure to convert GX hybrid (leaf-spine) switches from their default role to a non-default role using a CLI command, without needing to first discover and register them in a fabric. This command is exclusively for hybrid switches.

This supports a CLI command to convert the GX hybrid (leaf-spine) switches from their default role to the non-default role, without having to first discover them in a fabric and register them as the non-default role. This means you do not have to register the switch in its default role as leaf or spine, first.

Note

This procedure and CLI command is ONLY used on hybrid switches. If you use it on other switch types, you see Error: not a hybrid switch, role change not allowed.
