Go to the Fabric Designer online. 1.Enter your design in the Fabric Designer. The point of the Fabric Designer is to determine all of those materials you will need in order to build out your stack. 2.It will provide you a lot of useful info, for example a bill of materials:

5.It will also allow you to download the configurations for each switch - either as a regular config or as a zero touch configuration. You can also save the overall design.

Problems Encountered

On the 4112F-ON

These were taken from the physical switch running 10.5.0.4.638

I have confirmed I am in full switch mode:

OS10# show switch-operating-mode

Switch-Operating-Mode : Full Switch Mode

Page 10 step 6 of the manual does not work. There is no cert command.
Page 11 step 1 of the manual does not work. There is no switch-port-profile command.

With the VM

See bug notes.
