I am trying to use contract labels in ACI, and have settled on a scheme in which the provider of a contract may often have many labels associated with a given contract that it is providing, whereas the consumer will just have a single label (essentia...
I am working on re-implementing an existing network in ACI - it's not exactly a "migration", as the old & new networks will never be interconnected... rather ACI is being deployed in a brand new building, and once it's ready all the existing servers ...
Hi, I am new to ACI, and currently trying to figure out how best to achieve my goals in terms of the high-level constructs, and could do with some advice/guidance. I have been reading numerous guides, but am still a little unsure whether what I am ho...
We have placed an order for some ACI equipment (APIC cluster, spine switches, and leaf switches), however the lead-time for the spine switches is significantly longer than we were anticipating.Could anyone confirm whether it will be possible (and rea...
We are looking to use Nexus 9336C-FX2 switches as ACI leaves, but are unsure whether there are limits on the use of breakout cables with this switch. Specifically, how many 10G ports can be presented on a single switch in ACI mode...I have found the ...
Responding to my own question, having now completed the associated project, I can confirm that I have some 9336C-FX2 ACI leaf switches with as many as 28x breakout cables attached (most of which are 40G->10G, but some 100G->25G too). So at least with...
Thanks both for the advice. It sounds like I should stick with separate VRFs, as the way I was hoping to use the L3Outs would not have met those constraints (I effectively wanted each tenant to use its own L3Out as a "default route"). Glad I asked in...
Thanks a lot for the advice - for the record we did take the route of getting the second-hand 9336PQ, and it has proven to be sufficient to progress with configuration and testing in advance of the "real" spines turning up.
Thanks for the response.I did have a brief look at the APIC simulator a while ago, and while it's better than nothing, it's seems like it would still be somewhat limiting. For example I imagine we wouldn't be able to do much by way of verification th...
I agree that this is a very frustrating limitation. I would have thought it should be fairly basic functionality for it to be possible to specify one or more interfaces on which the various management services listen for incoming connections. In fact...
