Hi All, What would be the max. system throughput for SPAN of the following two Nexus switches (part of an ACI domain): - NX9508 including N9K-X9736PQ modules - NX9372PX Does the ERSPAN throughput differs from the local SPAN throughput? Is SPAN ha...

We have a simple ACI network setup at the moment.  Single VRF.  Several Tenants, each tenant shares a L3 out that was created in the common VRF.  OSPF over a VPC. Recently, another client asked to connect into the ACI.  They have their own network t...

Hi! I'm proposing a solution for a large government data center, and one of the clauses states a requirement for support for Unified Ports, particularly FCoE and FC. I've done some research, and it seems that none of the N9K switches currently suppo...

Hi  Can we a have a dual fabric deployment of Cisco ACI integrated with a single instance multi site deployment of Openstack?If this is possible do I lose out on any functionality compared to a design where Openstack integrates with only one Cisco AC...

I'm trying to understand more for ACI network-centric L2 design where ACI is just a transit L2 network, why do we need EGP and BD mapping as 1:1? assuming I have web/app/db EPG, instead of creating 3 BDs to map them, what's the impact if I just use ...

Good morning, I have a really strange problem : I added a fex to the fabric as usual, the fex comes online, but when I go in the tenant to add a port from the fex to the EPG's, the selection doesn't show the new fex interfaces. The fex is in the in...
