ACI Fabric Topology

The ACI fabric topology includes the following major components:
• Application Centric Infrastructure Controller (APIC) appliance (cluster of APICs)
• Leaf switches (Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX, 93108TC-FX, 93120TX, 93128TX, 93180LC-EX,
• Spine switches (Cisco Nexus 9336PQ, 9364C, 9504, 9508, and 9516 switches)
As shown in the following figure, each APIC is connected to one or two leaf switches and each leaf switch
should be connected to every spine switch in the same fabric.
