Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders dual-connected to two upstream Cisco Nexus 5000 Series
Switches (vPC): In this deployment scenario, access-layer redundancy is achieved through a combination of
Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders dual-connected to an upstream parent switch and server NIC
teaming.
