Connecting Leaf Switches To Spine Switches - Cisco Nexus 9364C-H1 Hardware Installation Manual

Connecting the Switch to the ACI Fabric
• For Cisco SFP+ Active Optical Cables, insert the transceiver on the cable into a downlink optical port on a leaf
switch.
• For a 10GBASE-T copper cable, insert the RJ-45 connector on the cable into a downlink BASE-T port on a leaf
switch.
Note
To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables support this switch, see the
Information document.

Connecting Leaf Switches to Spine Switches

For optimal forwarding between endpoints, connect each leaf switch to every spine switch in the same ACI
fabric.

Statement 1055 Class 1/1M Laser
Invisible laser radiation is present. Do not expose to users of telescopic optics. This applies to Class 1/1M
laser products.
Statement 1056 Unterminated Fiber Cable
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not
view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments, for example,
eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes, within a distance of 100 mm, may pose an eye hazard.
Statement 1255 Laser Compliance Statement
Pluggable optical modules comply with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3 and 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 with or without
exception for conformance with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3 as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019.
