DL = Downlink
DL BW = Downlink Bandwidth
FL BW AA = Fabric Link Bandwidth between Aggregation & Access
UL BW = Uplink Bandwidth
Use the following tables as a guideline for selecting the appropriate two-tier Layer 2 VLT or Layer 3 with
Resiliency (Routed VLT) fabric design for a 40 Gb ToR (mVLT deployment).
NOTE: With a Layer 2 VLT fabric, the uplinks come from the switches on the aggregation side. For
information about tiers, refer to Deployment Topology.
