Connecting Leaf Switches to Spine Switches
For optimal forwarding between endpoints, you must connect each leaf switch to every spine switch in the
same ACI fabric.
To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables support this switch, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules
Compatibility Information document.
To see the transceiver specifications and installation information, see Transceiver Module Installation Guides.
Statement 1055—Class 1/1M Laser
Invisible laser radiation is present. Do not expose to users of telescopic optics. This applies to Class 1/1M
laser products.
Warning
Statement 1056—Unterminated Fiber Cable
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not
view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments, for example,
eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes, within a distance of 100 mm, may pose an eye hazard.
Warning
Before you begin
• The leaf and spine switches in the fabric (such as: N9k-C9364C, N9K-C9332C, N9K-C9316D-GX, and
N9K-C9332D-GX2B) must be fully installed in their racks and grounded.
• If there are modular switches in the fabric, their ACI-mode line cards must already be installed. The line
cards can be of the following types:
• 32-port 100-Gigabit (such as: N9K-X9732C-EX)
• 36-port 100-Gigabit (such as: N9K-X9736C-FX)
• 16-port 400-Gigabit (such as: N9K-X9716D-GX)
You cannot include NX-OS line cards in the same chassis when running in ACI mode.
Note
Multiple uplinks from a leaf switch to a spine switch is supported. A symmetrical topology is recommended
so that all devices have equal access to resources.
