Hi @Leftz ,

Are you working with

1. real hardware? or 
2. virtual hardware? or
3. the ACI Simulator?

If working with the Simulator, you can't get access to the leaf switches

If working with real hardware, the prompt should be more like:

apic1# ssh leaf1201
Housley Fabric#1 ACI Lab

Not sure what the deal is if working with virtual hardware, but I'd suspect that the hardware debug commands like vsh and vsh_lc(which is the debug shell for the line card) would not work on a virtual switch
