Dell ToR switches with Cisco ACI environment overview


  • The example in this document covers deploying S5248F-ON switches connected to a Cisco ACI environment. By integrating the ToR switch pair into an ACI environment, compute resources within the rack can use ACI gateways and access ACI resources.

    Figure 5.  PowerSwitches connected to Cisco ACI leaf switches

    Connections from S5248F-ON switches to the C93180YC-EX leaf pair are 100 GbE. Figure 5 shows these connections in blue.

    Note: The wiring diagram in Figure 5 is drawn to show various types of carefully arranged connections for clarity. The port numbers and connection locations can differ in the actual deployment. No physical peer link is used between the Cisco ACI leaf switches. See the Cisco ACI documentation for more information.
