^ Sites Interconnectivity

[dganta]

Hi,

Customer is planning to deploy ACI fabric in 6 different sites 2 in US, 2 in Europe and 2 in Asia and the 2 DCS in each site will be more than 2000KMs apart.

What are the interconnectivty option I can consider for these 6 sites. 1 is I can think of using 2 ASR 1000 series routers connecting to Spine directly for each DC using MP BGP EVPN and layer 2 conn be extended by using OTV in ASR 1000 and connectivity between the ASR 1000 series. However considering 6 DCs and 2 ASR in Each DC the interconnecting links can be huge. Can there be a simplified solution with using a seperate ACI fabric for each DC and interconnecting these 6 ACI fabrics with Layer 2 and Layer 3 reachabilty.

Hello

The new fundamentals guide has information on two new features for multi-pod over large distances as well as the EVPN feature

this recent cisco live power point might help you as well

im not 100% sure on the distance limitations but this might be what you are looking for.
