    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 33: Connecting Leaf Switches To Apics

    Connecting Leaf Switches to APICs You must downlink one or two (recommended for redundancy) Cisco Nexus 9300 platform ACI-mode leaf switches to each Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) in your ACI fabric. The type of virtual interface card (VIC) installed on the APIC determines the types of interface cables that you can use to connect the leaf switches to the APICs.
  • Page 34 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 35: Connecting Leaf Switches To Spine Switches

    You cannot include NX-OS line cards in the same chassis when running in ACI mode. Note Multiple uplinks from a leaf switch to a spine switch is supported. A symmetrical topology is recommended so that all devices have equal access to resources. Cisco Nexus 9332D-GX2B ACI-Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
  • Page 36: Migration Of Nodes From A First Generation Switch To A Second Generation Switch

    Migration of Nodes From a First Generation Switch to a Second Generation Switch You have first generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches that may or may not be comprising a virtual port channel (vPC). You are migrating to second generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches using the same cables.
  • Page 37 From the Cisco APIC GUI, perform the Remove From Controller operation for the operational secondary vPC switch node. The Cisco APIC clean reboots the switch. Wait for about 10 minutes for this operation to finish. This action prompts all traffic to use the other first generation switch for data traffic.
  • Page 38: Setting Up An Optional Console Interface

    Register the new second generation switch with the Cisco APIC. Register the new node with the same node name and node ID. This switch becomes part of the fabric. The Cisco APIC pushes the policies to the new switch and keeps down the vPC legs because there is a mismatch of the generation of switches.
  • Page 39: Setting Up An Optional Management Connection

    DB-9 connector on the other end of the cable to the serial port on the console device. What to do next You can now perform the initial configuration for the switch (see the Cisco ACI Getting Started Guide). Setting Up an Optional Management Connection You can optionally set up an out-of-band management connection for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
