Hi all,
I would like your opinion and guidance for a network design concerning two separate Data Centers running on a Nexus 9000 Compact aggregation-layer design where i would like to have a DCI/Lan extension capabilities.
So, I would like to ask if it is possible to have a LAN extension solution between two Data centers using VXLAN when the network design is based on Nexus 9000 Compact Collapsed Core/aggregation-layer design.
For example, on each site there will be a Pair of Core/Aggregation 9K's running VPC to the Downstream TOR 9K's access layer switches where the servers will be Dual home attached with VPC.
Some VLANs/SVI's will be terminated on an FTD appliance that will be dual attached on the Collapsed Core 9K and some other will be locally connected on the 9K Core/Aggr device.
Is there any how to guide or a CVD for the above scenario?
Is this a valid go to solution and design or should i consider the Spine/Leaf topology? The server racks are less than 10 on each site so i want to keep it as simple as possible.
Thanks.
