Hello,  we received 2 new 9372tx switches today from a vendor that asked us to verify that the switch is in nexus mode and not in ACI mode.  I have never seen this before and can't really find any information on how to verify it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi

The Cisco ACI mode fabric software is an optimized version of the Cisco NX-OS Software operating system that provides a foundation for building a programmable network infrastructure. NX-OS has been rewritten as a fully object-based switch operating system for Cisco ACI. The object model enables fluid programmability and full access to the underlying components of the infrastructure using representational state transfer (REST) APIs. This approach provides a framework for network control and programmability with a degree of openness that is not found in other systems.

Hi Gary,

Just Issue Show Version on the boxes ..

You should see the details of the BIOS ,OS version and files .

Keep an eye on the NXOS Image file "Cisco NX-OS filenames begin with "n9000" while ACI filenames begin with "aci-n9000."

Hope it Helps..
