Cisco ACI LAB Setup

[Dipesh Patel]

Dear All Experts,

I want to setup a Cisco ACI LAB setup for testing and demo.

The components to be used for the LAB are:

1. Cisco N9K Spine switches --- 2 no's

2. Cisco N9K Leaf switches --- 2 no's

3. Cisco APIC-M2 --- 1 no

Once Physical connectivity will be completed what is next?

What initial configuration required to be done on Spine & Leaf switches and on APIC? Is there any document guiding step by step configuration, please suggest.

I am novice for Cisco ACI hence during the LAB testing I need your help.

Hopping for a positive response.

Regards
