devnet sandbox for ACI with l2out/l3out

matthewoncisco · ‎03-26-2024

I would like to test out the aci with l2out , l3out scenarios.The topology i see is fixed with spines, leafs and APICs. i dont see an option to add a regular switch /router to the topology to test out l2/l3 out?

@matthewoncisco this is correct, the sandboxes (for the most part) are prebuilt topologies which does not allow you to add or modify this design. I am not sure if the CML sandbox would meet your requirements, but pretty sure this does not contain ACI.

I believe ACI in devnet sandbox is just a "ACI Simulator" that has no dataplane capabilities thus you cannot test and forward traffic through the simulated switches.
