This chapter covers the deployment of a PowerEdge MX 100 GbE solution with external FSE connected to a Cisco ACI environment.
The validated Cisco ACI environment includes a pair of Nexus C93180YC-EX switches as leafs connected to a single Nexus C9336-PQ switch as the spine using 40 GbE connections. 100 GbE MX8116n Fabric Expander Modular (FEM) switches are connected to external Z9432F-ON FSE and 100 GbE external FSE to the C93180YC-EX leafs. The physical connections are shown in the following figure.
