# About fabrics

A fabric provides a common model and consistent state representation for both layer 2 and layer 3 network configurations and deployed network services associated with a physical network. The set of available networks in a domain are consistent among the networks, interconnect modules, and logical switches, when all are part of the same fabric.

### Creating and deleting a fabric

A fabric is created and assigned a default name when a domain is created. A fabric is deleted when the domain is deleted. Only a single, default fabric is created for each domain. Multiple fabrics associated with one domain are not supported.

### Associating resources with fabrics

The following resources are associated with a fabric:

- Networks

- Logical Interconnects

- Logical Interconnect Groups

- Logical Switches

- Logical Switch Groups

When you create a resource, the resource is associated with a fabric. When you delete a resource, the association to the fabric is deleted.
