Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX using QSFP ports in an L3out in ACI

[mark2741]

Hi all,

I have been trying to use one of the QSFP ports in an L3out on a 93108TC-EX, unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible in the APIC GUI and I'm currently guessing that these interfaces can only be used as spine uplinks looking at some of the Cisco Documentation. It would be great if someone could confirm this for me?

Hi @mark2741 

First, just wanted to let you know that there is an ACI specific related questions subsection - https://community.cisco.com/t5/application-centric/bd-p/12206936-discussions-aci

Regarding your question, you can change the uplink ports (40/100G ports) to downlink on the leaf, from:

Fabric -> Inventory -> Pod X -> Leaf X (click on the leaf name) -> Interface tab -> Change the mode to "Configuration" in the right corner, select the desired port(s), then click on "Fabric" to change it's operational usage.

Stay safe,

Sergiu
