Hi,

What are the pros and cons for going border spine compared to  border leaf 

Thanks

Hi @bluesea2010 

The pros I see of having border spines are:

• lower costs - no need for dedicated border leafs
• if the spines are modular switches (Nexus 9500) you have higher resilience and availability (redundancy provided by LC/SUPs)
• most of the times, the spines are having high bandwidth and are equipped with high speed ports

Stay safe,

Sergiu
