Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit. -
Page 37: Connecting Leaf Switches To Apics
Connecting Leaf Switches to APICs You must downlink one or two (recommended for redundancy) ACI-mode leaf switches (Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX, 93108TC-FX, 93120TX, 93128TX, 93180LC-EX, 93180YC-EX, 93180YC-FX, 9332PQ, 9348GC-FXP, 9372PX, 9372PX-E, 9372TX, 9372TX-E, 9396PX, or 9396TX) to each Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) in your ACI fabric. -
Page 38: Connecting Leaf Switches To Spine Switches
Connect the other end of the interface cable to a downlink port on a leaf switch. • For a Cisco 10GBASE-LR or -SR transceiver and cable, insert the transceiver into a downlink optical port on a leaf switch before connecting the cable to the transceiver. - Page 39 (Cisco Nexus 9504, 9508, or 9516 switch) or on each Cisco Nexus 9336PQ or 9364C spine switch. The number of line cards in a spine switch depends on the model of the spine switch (the Cisco Nexus 9504 supports four line cards, the Cisco Nexus 9508 supports up to eight line cards, and the Cisco Nexus 9516 supports up to 10 line cards in ACI-mode).
- Page 40 • If there are modular switches in the fabric, their ACI-mode line cards must already be installed. The line cards can be of the following types: • 36-port 40-Gigabit (N9K-X9736PQ) • 32-port 100-Gigabit (N9K-X9732C-EX) (supported by Cisco Nexus 9504 and 9508 modular switches) Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP ACI Mode Hardware Installation Guide...
