Hello Cisco Community,
I understand that for SD-A supported topologies, a FIB node has historically been deployed for very small sites consisting of a single network closet. Though multiple switches can be deployed in such a site, in such cases they were stacked together to logically appear as a single logical node. My client has some use cases where though the site still falls within a 'very small site' category (from an endpoint and VN count perspective), they possess 2 or 3 closets at the site, due to the physical distances of the endpoints. My question, is whether current DNAC platform versions now support a FiB deployment model whereby one node is still deployed as a FiB node (with Border / CP and Edge node functionality co-located), but can still have one or two dowstream edge nodes also uplinked onto the FiB node? Or, is the requirement still to dedicate a node as border / CP nodes, and have both closets uplinked to it?

Hi @RUIBRITES
Yes daisy chaining of Fabric Edge nodes behind a FIAB node is possible. Unfortunately Cisco Sales Connect is the only place that I can find that has this documented. If you have access to Sales Connect check the following video.

I do have access to Cisco Sales Connect, however i cannot seem to locate such a video title. If you could provide the link, that would be appreaciated.
