Hi @Isaac, Layer 3 protocols are not supported in Smart Fabric mode (infohub.delltechnologies.com/l/dell-emc-poweredge-mx-networking-deployment-guide/functional-overview-7), so I think the answer is probably no. If you want to email me at richard dot houghton at dell.com, I could put you in touch with a local Dell networking presales to try and help you.
