A colleague has asked the following question 

"Does a switch come in ACI mode and already have a basic setup to allow it to be discovered when it is plugged in, or am I required to do something to the switch via CLI or initial setup?"

Hi @Gallifrean - There is a nice article about detail processes of adding a new leaf / spine switch in ACI fabric.

Now that is a lot of great information - wish this was around a few years ago when I was looking at an ACI project

Thanks for pulling it together

Great information on the landscape of information available regarding Cisco ACI. I'd be interested in what people wished they had known before they starting using their first ACI stack of switches.
