Hello All,I think I know the answer to this, but want to ask to get input from others and to validate what I planning.We are in the process of planning a migration of our legacy 7K network to ACI. I have a Nexus 7K network with several VRFs and SVIs,...

Hello Everyone,I am preparing to migrate a data center with 10 VRFs, 121 VLANs, and 93 SVIs. The brownfield is pretty straight forward, I have two 7Ks at the core where all the VRFs, VLANs, and SVIs are defined. I have six 5548 switches with a lot of...

Thanks Sergiu,So if I wanted to accomplish this without a PBR, I would configure an L3Out to the F5 FrontEnd SelfIP to route to the BackEnd EPG? The problem I have with this is ACI does not allow me to configure an L3Out and an application EPG with t...

This is three years late, but we had a similar scenario while migrating from our legacy network to ACI and found another way to work around this. In my scenario, I have two Nexus 7Ks connected to ACI leafs with both L2 and L3 Outs. We had a couple of...

Thanks @balaji.bandi,We are planning to configure the vPC on the ACI border leafs instead of the 7Ks, but I suppose we could consider moving the vPC configuration to the 7Ks instead. We already have a number of vPC peer-gateways configured on the 7Ks...
