Hyperflex node connectivity

[mrguitar]

Hello, I'm new to hyperflex but considering getting basic node for computing resources for my customer.  With the entry C220M5 bundle, how does the connectivity work with the rest of the network?

Specifically, is there any detraction to using lower end TOR switches, like the Nexus 3500?  Would these just connect to the 6200 Fabric Interconnects and then to the rest of the network via upstream access switches?

If someone can provide some quick guidance, reference diagrams, etc. on this subject I would greatly appreciate your expeditious help!  :)

Thanks,

Ed
